Another dangerous man recorded as female for this crimes

Thanks for the links. Someone on here the other day started a thread and apologised for providing a link to the Guardian

The DM has until recently been almost one the only paper reporting on these issues. Regardless of their overall stance, it’s excellent that they are bringing this issue into the light. We definitely need more of this

Agree. As long as the anomalies in sex of offender data records are highlighted and reported correctly and widely, the source of the reporting is not pertinent to me. Excellent important article.

Any words I have in my head need to stay there for this one I think. Thank you for the light 🔦

It's important that this is recognised and tackled - can't imagine why papers like the Guardian are so reluctant to address issues like this but we are where we are.
It's good to see that this issue is finally being raised in the mainstrem press (quote from the article):
" a significant number of sex offenders in jail are transgender women who were born male but identify as female "
At a time when women and girls are under increased pressure to accept the presence of unknown men in places where we undress, shower, sleep and undergo medical procedures, these statistics need openly addressing.

I see this piece was by the deputy political editor of the Mail on Sunday - it generally seems a bit more serious and less excessively populist than the weekly DM. The report on Watts was appallingly misleading

(They've turned off the comments now... some earlier in the week noted watt's sex)

These false statistics were used by a poster on another thread to complain about safeguarding.

Glad to see the Mail specifically reporting on the skewing of the crime statistics.

We have to stop being so squeamish about it being the Mail. It’s probably the most powerful of that kind of news outlet and its content is freely available on the internet and not behind a paywall. The Mail has been consistently good on this topic and sunlight is exactly what this topic needs.

Thanks for sharing, OP.

Good, it could do with the statistics but it's a pretty clear report of the sort which needs to be in the mass media. Especially in the DM as it has a lot of the tedious 'women do it too' types.

It would be good if they brought pressure on IPSO to change current reporting practices - the DM report on the crime recently mentioned had a headline which said 'female'. They're being rather hypocritical.
