We learned yesterday that the large secure database we use to document and track domestic violence incidents, services, and sheltering has eliminated the word "gender" and only offers ways to document services to individuals with a sex of "male" or "female".
So we won't be able to track incidents of domestic violence for the trans community nor will we be able to provide statistics that justify funding and grants for trans-inclusive services and safe shelters.
