But it was the fact that sexual and gender minorities are victims of such a variety of crimes at such disparate rates — and who they’re victimized by — that surprised researchers, said lead author Andrew R. Flores, an assistant professor at American University. For example, researchers found that such a population is much more likely to be victimized by someone they know well than a person who is a non-sexual and gender minority.
The upside is that these freaks have a very high rate of suicide,
Way back in the day I had a lesi-friend, really attractive and smart, and we would go clubbing. Well, we did until I saw her start two fights with GUYS. She’d get p.o. ed and throw a drink in somebody’s face in a heartbeat. After pulling her off two guys she had jumped on, I decided to find another buddy. I’ve never known anyone else to have such a short fuse.
“Trans” people in general very often have issues, mental issues, and it is not surprising. Being at war with yourself, within yourself, easily becomes a self-damaging personality. And, that leads to other unstable personality and unstable relationship issues.
In terms of “gays” and “Lesbians” the honest sociologists studying crime rates need to insure their data includes the attributes of what kind of relationship status do the victims have.
My guess is that the majority of major crime victims, even including robbery, among “gays” and “Lesbians” are persons who are and have long been either “single” or in and out of relationships most of their life. I think most crime statistics as to victims, even among heterosexuals, is among non-married persons more often than married persons.
There are many other stable aspects in life, including why and how people live and what kind of environment they live in, that begins with a stable hoped-to-be life long relationships. Being single is not different than being “transient” and a lot of less than good things often flow from being transient, including more contact with a criminal environment. A life of hook-ups is an invitation to being part of crime statistics, in my view.
“The first study of its kind”
Not true, this has been known for many years. I first heard it in the 1970’s.
It was one of the reasons homosexuals were considered mentally ill. They have many of the same population characteristics. (ie. more likely to commit crimes, more likely to be victims of crimes, etc.)
There are groups more into ‘drama’ than others... and some ‘victim groups’ hunger to be ‘bigger victims’.
