A 2013 report from the Anti-Violence Project found that trans individuals are seven times likelier to experience violence while interacting with the police than cisgender people.

So...

I have no trouble believing Gwyn's accounts here, even though, again, I treat her with proper scrutiny in most areas.

This all seems like what cops do.

Now, the other big discrepancy where the Zizians are, I think, a little off base is that they claim they are immediately dead named and misgendered by the newspapers covering their initial arrests.

And they are dead named, but the newspapers don't really have an option here.

It's their legal name.

names.

Right.

They don't talk when they're arrested.

Right.

Which is a very normal thing for like a protest.

They say absolutely nothing and they have no ID on them.

So the police fingerprint them, which brings up their legal names.

And that's what's given to the newspapers.

So like the initial news articles aren't that's just the only name available.

But it escalates this situation.

Right.

And it is worth noting that a number of outlets do continue to dead name them up to the present.

But that initial reporting, it's like, well, that's just the only information that was available.
