Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on this board and generally following the mainstream uk press about trans issues including the JK Rowling debate etc.

I've been shocked with the likes of Mermaids and the Tavistock centre prescribing under 18s life changing treatments.

I'm still trying to understand the implications and form an informed opinion on the use of women only places by trans women. I understand it would make many women uncomfortable if it were obvious.

Do we have any statistics or research done on how often women or girls have been attacked in their own spaces by men passing as trans women and or by trans women? I know it happens anecdotally but how much more likely is it to happen? Is it isolated incidents or is the risk much heightened? Perhaps it's not possible to do this type of research though due to a paucity of data?

Thanks!

There is a very good video called something like " these are not our crimes".
Someone more knowledgeable than me could probably link it.

So TW commit crime at the same rate as men.
Sexual assaults by men on women in toilets and changibg rooms increase by about 60% when these places are designated mixed or unisex.

Everything I have read states that patterns of offending remain unchanged when a person changes their gender identity.

Those statistics are not kept. Crimes are recorded by the self identified gender of the assailant or victim, not by sex.
