The recent news of 122 examples of predators using a trans status to abuse women and children has been met with shock, sadness, and anger. It is an issue that affects us all and must be addressed. But instead of focusing on the darkness of this situation, let us use it as an opportunity to come together in solidarity and work towards creating a better future for women and children everywhere. Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, has made it her mission to fight for gender equality throughout her career. In response to these reports she released a statement saying “We must never forget that we are all responsible for protecting vulnerable people from harm”. This sentiment echoes what many have said before - that no one should be left behind or excluded from safety or justice because of their gender identity or expression. Sturgeon is just one example of the many people working tirelessly towards creating a world where everyone can feel safe regardless of their gender identity or expression. We must continue to support those who are fighting against injustice while also remembering our responsibility as individuals to create an environment where everyone can thrive without fear or prejudice. It is easy to become overwhelmed by stories like these but we cannot forget that they represent only a small fraction of the population. The vast majority of transgender people do not pose any threat whatsoever; rather they are just looking for acceptance in a society which often fails them in this regard. As we move forward, let us remember this fact and focus on how we can make sure everyone feels safe regardless of their gender identity or expression. At times like these it is important not to lose hope but rather use it as motivation to create real change in our society so that stories like these become less common over time. We owe it both ourselves and future generations to strive towards creating an equitable world where everyone can live free from fear or discrimination based on their gender identity or expression. Let us take this moment as an opportunity to come together in solidarity so that every woman and child feels safe no matter who they are or what they look like!
