Crimes committed by trans people

Hi everyone

I was wondering if anyone had any information about crimes committed by either MTF or FTM transgender people.

I remember coming across a thread of examples on Twitter but I can’t find it now Hmm They were specifically involving violent or sexual crimes in changing rooms and bathrooms etc

I have one website with many examples but was looking for more sources (womenarehuman.com)

I’m quite curious to know if FTM transgender people want to be in male prisons or use male bathrooms, or view
any crime statistics/examples.

Everything seems to focus on Male to female especially on Twitter so it’s hard to find information.

I finally decided to join Twitter and I’m astounded by the number of people who deny that ANY crime is being committed by MTF trans Sad

IF people are asking for scientific evidence then you have to ask back. Where is the scientific evidence that transwomen commit offences at a lower rate than men? That’s does not exist, neither does anecdotal evidence exist for that positions, o clearly weaker position.

At this point they will tell you they can prove that transwomen are attacked at a higher rate than women . Ask them to prove that they are attacked at a higher rate than men/prostitutes ( in some countries transwomen work a lot as prostetute, which is to my mind a sad thing, but all prostetutes are at high risk of attack and murder)

@R0wantrees @BettyDuMonde @PeeGreen @hoodathunkithoodathunkit .... researching online it's very obvious that Nicole Pearce AKA Paul Luckman or vice versa is posting about themselves online under various titles the most obvious of which is this one by the "Ex Deputy Governor of Corrections" at www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/7ksisv/til_australian_child_murderer_psychopath/dsztk8x/

It is obvious from the post that the sex change was a con for release.

The phrase "Nicole defiantly took responsibility for her crimes" stands out as psychopathic to me because it gives some impression that she wasn't in fact responsible or guilty, that to admit guilt was somehow to go over and obove... A key trait among that type of offender.

BettyDuMonde · 14/03/2019 15:14

Can we start using POGD (Prison Onset Gender Dysphoria) to describe the phenomenon of sex offenders ‘coming out as trans’ on arrest/while incarcerated?

Times, 'Letting criminals self-identify gender ‘putting women at risk’

(extract)
"Joan McAlpine, a fellow SNP MSP, had raised concerns that sexual offences are disproportionately perpetrated by biological men and asked whether self-identification would therefore lead to a “misleading” rise in the number of women recorded as sex-offenders. Official statistics show that 1,007 men were convicted for sexual crimes from 2017 to 2018, compared with 46 women.

Ms McAlpine, 57, said: “Aside from the statistical corruption, I cannot be the only woman who finds it deeply offensive that male sexual violence can ever be badged as a female crime.

“The Crown Prosecution Service in England and Wales take a similar approach [to the Scottish government] — it’s another example of self-identification being introduced by the back door in response to publicly-funded lobby groups.”

She highlighted the case of Katie Dolatowski, 18, a transgender sex offender who preyed on girls in public toilets in Fife and was housed in women-only accommodation after being convicted. Ms McAlpine said the policy meant Dolatowski was “recorded as a woman, when this person doesn’t even have a gender recognition certificate and is therefore legally male”. (continues)

see MSP Joan McAlpine's comments this week:

"THREAD Following my justice question today, I am grateful that @ HumzaYousaf has offered to meet criminologists concerned that crime is recorded according to the "self identified" gender of the perpetrator.
twitter.com/UpIander/status/1105843659587637249

These criminologists would include the academic consultancy Murray Blackburn Mackenzie who produced this recent paper on the subject, sent to the @ NACWGScot

This is a UK wide issue - @ metpoliceuk began recording crime according to self declared gender in 2009. However "gender identity" has no status in law, unlike sex, a protected characteristic in the Equality Act 2010 - see here

This matters as most crimes of violence & nearly all sex offences are committed by natal males. That's not to say most males are violent or perverts. My male friends, colleagues, relatives are lovely. But male violence is statistically undeniable

Similarly, criminologists are not saying male to female trans people are more likely to offend. We don't have enough data on that. But this study found "transwomen" retained male pattern offending after transition. here

Yes, there really are no cases of people born with large gametes committing horrific unimaginable crimes and then changing their gender identity.

It is restricted to those people born with penises.

R0wantrees · 14/03/2019 11:47

Its unhelpful to group 'transpeople' together.
There are clear differences between offending patterns of males and females. These are sex based.

The patterns do not seem to demonstrate a change determined by a person's gender identity any more than with other features.

Statistics about males who are trans are hidden first when their crimes are recorded as being committed by women (conflation of gender self-id & sex) & secondly when recorded / discussed as being by trans people (includes both m & f)

It is really important to be able to identify & name male-pattern abuse, violence & attempted control etc

Lamaha · 14/03/2019 10:30

I need to say this: even if NO crimes were ever committed by transwomen I still would be opposed to male-bodied persons in women's spaces. I do not want to share facilities with them for reasons of privacy. I absolutely loathe the male gaze and I know that males simply cannot help looking, assessing, desiring or rejecting undressed women as sexual partners and do not want this.
Also men leave dirty toilets behind (urine on floors and seats), leave seats up, leave cubicle doors open -- I can tolerate this in my own home but not in public spaces.
And that's just me. WHat about women from very conservative cultures: why should their wishes and needs for privacy be ignored?
It's not just about crime. Please mention this whenever you argue against mixed facilities. It's about privacy and dignity.

andyoldlabour · 14/03/2019 10:19

OvaHere

That is an unbelievably shocking account. A brutal murderer who lied constantly, the sister of the victim being one of the first at the scene and then later committed suicide, it doesn't get any worse.
I wish they would stop referring to these animals as "she", it just isn't right, a complete insult to the deceased and relatives.
They shouldn't ever be let out of prison.

Khaled Farhan, dubbed The Butcher of Gatineau by the press in 1999 after killing and then dismembering his lover days later, has won parole with the hopes of starting a new, quiet life as a transgender woman at an undisclosed halfway house.

Farhan, now 46 and legally named Zahra Farhan, was found guilty in 2000 for the second-degree murder of her live-in girlfriend Karina Janveau, 24.

PeeGreen · 13/03/2019 16:42

The Wikipedia article was linked from Reddit

old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/7ksisv/til_australian_child_murderer_psychopath/

There is more on him here

murderpedia.org/male.L/l/luckman-paul.htm

It looks like people got triggered by facts.

The current Wikipedia article allows only

"In 1989, Luckman began taking hormones on the advice of a psychiatrist, as he felt more like a woman than a man. A year later, Luckman changed his name by deed poll to Nicole Louise Pearce and underwent gender reassignment surgery.[1]:14 On 26 October 1999, he was released from the Kirkconnell Correctional Centre, a minimum security male-only facility in inland New South Wales.[1]:14"

I just checked the Wikipedia article on Caitlyn Jenner, who was first famous as 'He' and 'Bruce'

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caitlyn_Jenner

They carefully avoid the use of pronouns altogether in favour of 'Jenner' throughout the period when Jenner identified as a man.

Yet this murder article uses 'he' pronouns and fails to correctly name him as Nicole Pearce in the introduction, in accordance with the manual of style en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gender_identity

BettyDuMonde · 13/03/2019 14:28

Wow.

Amazed at what people want scrubbed from the internet :/

Reminds me of the whole evening I spent reading the wiki talk/edits page for ‘Woman’.

Spoiler: They finally settled on a definition that is so circular as to be meaningless. Way to to go, wikiwokebros!

PeeGreen · 13/03/2019 11:52

Thanks for that link BettyDuMonde,

Another Australian psycho (maybe he was the one I read about?)

That 'alchetron' page is interesting in that it's just a copy from Wikipedia.

But it's not on Wikipedia any more.

Why not? The Wikifiddlers deleted it, saying it's an 'Attack page or negative unsourced BLP'

en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Nicole+Louise+Pearce

The grounds for deletion are here:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive268#Nicole_Louise_Pearce

"The article reads like a POV piece demonising the subject, "

"I am not denying that the actions perpetrated by the subject of the article (as described in the sources) are awful, but there are several very problematic aspects to the article, such as discussion of the gender identity of the person as if that were a factor, "

And the reply from a fellow Wikifdildder

"That is indeed terrible. I've taken a somewhat unusual measure, perhaps, by redirecting the article to Murder of Peter Aston. It strikes me as in line with BLP1E, and the edit history shows that the article creator, who indeed seems to be an SPA, is up against various editors who cite WP policy more appropriately. User:Crimescrutineer, you can make your case on the article talk page. That discussion, along with this one, will decide the fate of the article. In the meantime I will not hesitate to block you if you continue the edit warring or undo the redirect. "

The contributor is disparaged as a 'SPA', i.e. a single-purpose account, because they dared to write an article about a murderer who happens to be transgender.

This is despite an editing history in other areas of crime

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Crimescrutineer

that don't relate to that particular killer.

The Wikifiddlers really are shameless.

BettyDuMonde · 13/03/2019 10:40

Ever heard of Paul Luckman?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Peter_Aston

Now known as Nicole Louise Pearce

alchetron.com/Nicole-Louise-Pearce-(Paul-Luckman)

m.youtube.com/watch?v=A6og5Wx1Q94

Of course, Luckman sexually assaulted and killed a 13 year old boy, so no doubt Luckman will be batted away as ‘not evidence that trans identifying males are a danger to women and girls).

Eye roll,

hoodathunkit · 13/03/2019 10:24

The below cases are not of men who identify as trans

They are of men who experienced an impulse to step into the clothing / skin of women as this gave them a sense of release from irrepressible sexual urges. The below men are / were deeply disturbed fetishists.

I suspect that many of the rapists, paedophiles and murderers who claim to be “trans” are not in fact trans at all.

They are men who hate women and who experience a need to get inside women, through rape, theft of clothing and undergarments, cross-dressing, invading women’s bedrooms / homes / safe spaces and through, in some instances, trophy collecting of women’s body parts.

The following cases are extremely triggering and disturbing to read about. Interested readers can find documentaries about these criminals easily on the www but please be careful, there are images, films and descriptions that are very distressing for even the most resilient viewer

I believe that we should be thinking about these individuals as people occupying an extreme end of a continuum of sexual offending related to AGP and nothing to do with transsexual / transgender people. I say this as someone who is not any kind of authority on transgender issues and who can imagine that many people feel tormented by feelings of being born into the wrong body but who do not feel compelled to occupy and violate women’s bodies / spaces.

So, for your consideration

I give you

when we are talking about the set of transwomen, then we need to understand them as a subset of males, because there are no logical grounds for doing anything else.

This is is true.....and why its so shocking that all normal safeguarding regards children goes out the window, when the magical prefix 'trans' appears, to describe a child who is a biological male. (And has no business changing/showering/sleeping anywhere near girls.)

Persifleur · 13/03/2019 08:59

Ah, sorry about that. I was quite wrong. For some reason - partly the opening phrasing - and because I was on a slow connection and couldn't check out the OP I was concerned it might be a harvesting exercise. Can't think why I'm so paranoid! Anyway, the OP is good and it' a good thread, so apologies.

andyoldlabour · 13/03/2019 08:39

"I'm a bit eye-rolly because there are so many goady posts on here."

Bit confused by this?

PeeGreen · 13/03/2019 02:21

The point about 'trans crime' as distinct from say 'black crime', is that the main determining factor in crime is not race, it is sex.

Males commit most crime, and nearly all sexual crime. That's true across cultures.

'Black crime' is committed by black men, just as 'white crime' is committed by 'white men'.

The thing about transgenderism is that it is not 'to be', but 'to identify as'. In other words, while, say, Samuel L Jackson IS and has always been black, Caitlyn Jenner was not transgender in 1976.

Transgender ideologists will always claim that they always were female, but firstly their claim to be female now is one that has no meaning, and secondly their claim that they were always female is unverifiable.

If you look at say Bilal Hassani

www.instagram.com/iambilalhassani

He is a he. A gay man.

He does not claim to be a woman.

BUT if someone told you that Bilal was actually a she, having transgender identity, and gave you some pictures of Bilal as a child and said 'she first knew she was a girl as a small child', then it would be wholly uncontroversial, and everyone would accept that Bilal was a transgender woman.

We know that most transwomen are 'non-op'. They have male biology. They have always had male biology. Male hormone levels.

As such in terms of criminality it's reasonable to assume that they are male. Because we know very well that men commit most crime.

In terms of the post-op TW, while they are a minority, firstly we can look at people like Dr. Berlin who actually treated paedophiles with female hormones to keep them out of prison, and the treatment was often a failure with the paedophiles continuing to rape children, and say 'well we don't know what happens to a brain that has been socialised and exposed to male hormones from birth, if you cut off the testosterone'. Clearly post-op TW will not display female levels of criminality, since much of their biology, brain, etc. is irreversibly male. It might be lower than non-op TW, but whether it is or not is kind of
irrelevant as TRAs say that genitals and hormones don't matter.

In other words, a transwoman has a penis and a beard, or she has a neovagina and she has breasts, and it's none of your business either way.

Which is fine as their position, but it does suggest that when it comes to making sex-based divisions, we should treat transwomen as men, since they probably have penises, they probably display male patterns of criminality and sex offending, and so on.

A better argument in terms of 'black crime' vis-a-vis trans crime is that just as we shouldn't treat black men differently from other men, because that would be racist, we equally shouldn't treat transwomen differently from other men.

And that last statement is true in that it's clear TRA ideology - your gender identity is what you say it is. Paul Denyer says he's a woman, so he is.

Obviously we can look at Paul Denyer's history and say actually he is NOT a woman, and reject his claim, but (a) TRAs won't do that (b) in most cases we won't have knowledge of the person to the extent we do about him. If instead we assert that Paul Denyer is a woman, then clearly that assertion is meaningless because it doesn't change anything about Paul Danyer - he's still an evil murdering misogynist.

So we really have no choice to say 'ok, if you want to say transwomen are women, that's fine, but they are also biologically males, and everything we know about biological males says they are inherently more violent and criminal, and if you think that an unverifiable self--made assertion about gender identity somehow cancels that, just because, then you're a bit thick, frankly'

Clearly it's not necessary to 'mispronoun' transwomen in general, though when they behave like Jane Fae or Rachel McKinnon, it's certainly tempting to do so, but at least when we are talking about the set of transwomen, then we need to understand them as a subset of males, because there are no logical grounds for doing anything else.

Fallingirl · 13/03/2019 02:07

One argument I couldn’t quite figure a response to was that the tactics used to “tarnish” transwomen (by mentioning their crimes) is the same thing racists do to POC eg. look at this black man who did this terrible thing, all black men are terrible.

That comparison doesn’t really work, because it is not the case that black people have been proven to be more criminally violent than other people, or that all criminals are black.
But it is the case that 98% of sexual assaults are commited by men, however they identify.

esk1mo · 13/03/2019 01:32

Thank you PeeGreen that is all so horrid but very informative.

One argument I couldn’t quite figure a response to was that the tactics used to “tarnish” transwomen (by mentioning their crimes) is the same thing racists do to POC eg. look at this black man who did this terrible thing, all black men are terrible.

I know that comparison doesn’t make sense but I couldn’t formulate a reply. I know that trans-women are a threat to women especially in prisons and men in general pose a threat to women.

It’s alot to sort through. Thankful for MN.

This may be the Australian case

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Denyer

Paul Denyer is a man who hates women and murdered three women for that reason.

<a class="break-all" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080602094844/www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2003/s1023113.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">web.archive.org/web/20080602094844/www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2003/s1023113.htm

"POLICE INTERVIEWER: Can you explain why we have women victims?

PAUL CHARLES DENYER: I just hate them.

POLICE INTERVIEWER: I beg your pardon.

PAUL CHARLES DENYER: I hate them.

POLICE INTERVIEWER: Those particular girls or women in general?

PAUL CHARLES DENYER: General.

MARY GEARIN: So it's utterly bewildering that a man who killed out of hate now is setting off on this extraordinary path to become a woman.

CARMEL RUSSELL, VICTIM'S MOTHER: We felt sick.

Brian and I, we felt devastated.

I thought, "What next stunt is he trying to pull?"

MARY GEARIN: In the first 10 long years of his minimum 30-year sentence, Denyer has had plenty of opportunity to consider how he can reach beyond the bars to exercise his legal rights."

Needless to say, TRAs in general, and Wikipedia as part of its policies, believe that Paul Denyer who specifically hates women and murdered three and would continue to more, should have his pronouns respected, and be referred to as 'Paula' and a 'woman'

The claims that Denyer made after 10 years in prison

"In "Letter 6", dated 4 February 2004, she wrote: "I committed these disgusting crimes ... not because I ever hated womankind, but because I have never really felt that I was male."

This motive has been reported by a number of (exclusively male) transgender millers. Denyer's claim is rather implausible because he made it 10 years after the fact.

The case of Douglas Perry which I mentioned has similarities

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3117324-Man-killed-women-because-he-was-jealous-of-their-femininity-then-had-GRS-to-evade-capture

"Prosecutors said Perry, a man named Douglas at the time, murdered the women because of she was jealous over their ability to have children. They also contended she used her gender reassignment surgery in 2000 as a means to to avoid suspicion in the case."

"“He told me … becoming a woman was a disguise to take the heat off of him, that an elderly lady with mental illness would never get caught.”"

Also there's the recent case of Andrew Balcer, who murdered his parents and the family dog, and said they didn't validate his gender identity.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6186917/Transgender-teen-pleads-guilty-killing-parents.html

Balcer's parents appear to have been very liberal, so this claim is implausible at best.

There is the recent case in Australia of Evie Amati

www.news.com.au/lifestyle/relationships/family-friends/from-privileged-upbringing-to-triple-attempted-axe-murderer/news-story/336cfecbe0fee4d61eb0c2531dd0e919

Amati attacked three strangers at random with an axe. This was following rejection on a Tinder date.

Amati's behaviour was fuelled by TRA rhetoric, such as

  • the cotton ceiling theory (a reference to lesbian's underwear discriminating against transwomen's penises)
  • frequent violent imagery by TRAs, such as the exhibition at San Francisco Public Library of spiked baseball bats and other weapons with which to beat feminists to death

dgrnewsservice.org/civilization/patriarchy/male-violence/library-hosts-transgender-art-weapons-kill-feminists/ (note, this is a mirror, the original source has been deleted by Wordpress on the basis that documenting such behaviour is discriminatory against transpeople)

www.reddit.com/r/terfisaslur/comments/6jum2p/i_punch_terfs/

Transgender ideology is manna from heaven for the men who really hate women.

Someone like Angus Sinclair, who died this week (who - to be clear - never identified as female) who raped and murdered dozens of women and girls is , according to transgender ideology, female simply if he says so.

And clearly for some men who hate women, that is one last act of misogyny, even as they rot in prison.

Halo84 · 13/03/2019 01:00

MTF trans more often than not carry the sense of entitlement and privilege they had as males into their lives as females. FTM trans don’t. I find this interesting, as to what it says about the role of women in our supposedly egalitarian society.
