ezs comment:  One thing raised my attention:  According to UK police, among transgender people, crime rose fourteen percent.  To those of you who who are fearful, I do understand.  But those who go unreported, this only means that these trolls go with impunity.  Don't let this happen!!!

ezs note:  There are a few police persons who treat victims rudely, unfortunately.   In this case, complain to the chief of police, or failing this, to a newspaper/newsblog.  The police will get all antsy over this, but, well, good.  Maybe they'll start doing their job for a change.
