Not related to the issue of legislation, but this write up is done poorly (if I'm reading it correctly) the data was taken from a survey of a total of n=1,036 respondents, and the data related to who answered they actually moved states can be seen below. As we can see these numbers are actually very very small. I don't think you can "blow up" that data to then reflect the larger population. The headline gives an extremely large number, which is an extrapolation of data from a relatively small pool of the estimated hundreds of thousands, as the respondents (as can be seen below) who valued that choice aren't even the size of an average college class. I'd need to run more statistical analysis for how bad the skew is in moving from this sample size, but it's quite problematic at least in my research experience. The main issue comes when we break down the raw numbers, with it being only a few respondents who have actually verified indeed they have moved, while the title of the article implies we have reports indicating hundreds of thousands.

I think it is always helpful to make sure we frame headlines in ways that are truthful, a much better claim would be to see this is the number that "may have fled/will flee", as the original wording makes it sound like they actually tracked that count which doesn't seem to be the case.

Approximately 130,000 - 260,000 Americans have been forced to flee their homes because of legislation criminalizing trans existence.

That’s 8% of transgender Americans. An additional 43% of transgender Americans are seriously considering moving due to laws criminalizing our existence and healthcare.

“So many people are completely helpless to get out, even with all the bumps and roadblocks, the fact is I'm still one of the lucky ones.” Said Sheena, a trans woman who fled from from Florida.

“it's evident that the United States is in the throes of a swelling crisis of internally displaced political refugees. Over a million people, themselves contemplating relocation in the coming months, remain in a state of apprehensive vigilance, awaiting the potential signal that they too must bid farewell to their homes.”

Via Erin Reed, a professional policy tracker of transgender legislation. June 13, 2023.

I think you might be confused, OP is speaking about the link which is talking about the sex of the perpetrator, your image is of the sex of the victim. Your link never talks about the perpetrators of sexual violence, as they probably wanted a different page dedicated to it (which OP links).

It is actually quite disturbing as while theoretically we know that most sexual violence against women is perpetrated by men unto women, missing that stat limits our analysis if we are only looking out the outcome of a crime rather than a class perpetuating it.

As an example I'd also turn to a study I read on sexual assault/harassment in a lab workplace. One large survey only took the victim's sex, and the sex of the boss at the workplace, but not the perpetrator. Another survey of the same style did indicate the sex of the perpetrator. What was found from the latter survey was that while women were quite significantly victimized by men, the most common perpetrator for sexual violence against men was also men (in this case). It also found that vertical harassment was more common for female victims (i.e., by a person in higher authority) vs Lateral for male victims (i.e., by one's peers). Though of course, both can and did occur. It also shows another dynamic in that, it is likely that men were more likely to be elevated in status above women career wise and so can benefit both fiscally and socially from the power of said positions.

This analysis would not be there at all had the sex of perpetrator not been recorded.

The absolute insanity of RAINN’s stats on perpetrators of sexual violence never once mentioning sex even though they analyze age, ethnicity, relationship to the victim (of ambiguous sex, apparently), and the types of violence used….the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the USA simply avoiding the statistics of sex-based offending and victimization…they are literally ignoring the epidemic of male violence against women in order to ????? why?????

Autism Self-Diagnosis Masterpost

Questioning if you might be autistic? Have you always known you were different and are trying to figure out why? Is professional diagnosis not an option for you (cost/stigma/bias/etc)? Then here is a list of resources to help you figure out if you are autistic.

This post is broken up into categories of resources based on subject matter. Some links may contain ableism and medicalized language but if they do they also have useful information which is why they were posted. 

Self-diagnosis is a long process of reading and researching and self-reflection. A decision should not be made overnight. However, it is completely valid to self-diagnose as autistic (see the second to last section for more on this). If you are self-diagnosing, read as much as you can written by autistic people. Read their blogs and their tumblrs. Read about the autistic experience. Talk to autistic people if you are able to. 

If you have questions, feel free to submit them to @askaboutautism, a blog run by autistics to answer questions about autism.
