Population of Hull was 260000 in 2019.
White population 89.7%, 233000 people, so BAME population 10.3% or 27000 people. Female BAME is 50% of that, or 13500 women.

What are the numbers for Trans people in Hull?
Facebook support group has 385 ‘likes’ https://www.facebook.com/TPSGhull/
This support group appears to support 6 individuals at a time, with ‘hair and make-up advice’ and peer support https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/hull-transgender-community-support-group-3141302

But wait: it appears that the group behind the hair and make up and peer support for 6 trans individuals at a time’ group are the same people that just got £365000 lottery funding, to keep them going for 5 years.
13500 BAME women are seeking just *half* the funding that was just awarded to the trans group (that might support 6 people per group, 3 groups a year, for 5 years= 6 x 3 x 5 = 90 people). Just so we’re all aware of who is considered worth supporting.
