they are responsible for the challenges, as is the rest of the population.
it is just these challenges are rarely direct consequence of someone's sexuality.
excuse me but my bathroom is poorly decorated and i blame the trans community for hoarding all the good bathroom decor ideas (all both of my trans friends whose bathrooms i've used, they are TOO WELL DECORATED)
The idea that trans people only need trans rights in gender affirming care, legal recognition, non-discrimination in workplaces and housing rentals etc, but not basic human needs like food, housing, general healthcare too is how many liberals have been shirking themselves of social responsibilities by dressing themselves in identity politics.
'I support trans rights but I draw the line at universal access to food, housing, healthcare, and education' is a denial of basic needs to trans people too. Trans people should be part of the challenges to society because they deserve access to basic human needs just as much as everyone else.
They're responsible for one challenge in society and it's that they have all these amazing men and women and I have no way of telling them all how awesome they are :(
Individual cases of rape or other forms of sexual assault aren't necessarily "challenges we face as a society". I think this phrase refers to broader issues impacting us all, like climate change.
Yeah, cherry-picked shitty people (trans people are people too, in both the negative and positive) in response to a conversation about systemic oppression is a bad take at best, and purposeful disinformation at worst. Knock this shit off
Are those cases because they're trans? No, they're just pieces of shit who happen to be trans. So it has nothing whatsoever to do with the "trans community."
Also I took one for the team and actually read some of those articles, and I'm sorry, but if you hook up with a trans girl and then fucking take her to court for sex assault because you "would not have consented" if you knew she was born a biological male, then you are the trash of the world and I don't even have words for you.

If you're willing to take away someone's rights, then you've created a system which can take away anyone's rights, even yours.
The only way to guarantee human rights for you is to guarantee human rights for all.

Sexuality or sexual identity isn't the problem ... being afraid is.

Well, these cases popped up while I was trying to remember Isla Bryson's name:

Isla's case:

So that estimate of 0% should probably be revised upwards a bit.
