1 in 585 trans women are currently incarcerated for sexual offences

And that's just the convicted ones.

i was just coming over to post this.

I’m sure that TRA’s will suggest these numbers are inflated because they are being unfairly targeted and discriminated against and say that this is just because of transphobes framing them. 🥲

Looking at these statistics, in prisons, transwomen are most at risk from themselves, not any other demographic.

Well that's a surprise.
I'd also like to know how many others have been convicted of violent crimes in general. Assault, gbh, abh, domestic violence etc.

Lurking previously BTW. Should have posted that this data reminds of what we do already know. This needs to be front page news. No more silencing and misdirection.

You missed the bit about being in league with the far right.

And the Christian Taliban!

Interesting timing of a new AMA thread with a purported forensic psychologist. Basically seems to be saying the opposite of this thread and transwomen/ males no problem in women’s prisons,women are worse etc etc.

And I do, have mentioned in a previous reply but it’s a lot better for all involved for a transwoman to be housed in a protected wing in a women’s prison when looking at risk vs reward. Quite honestly if I were to be imprisoned next week I’d prefer to take my chances being housed with a transwoman compared to most of the women I come across in my day job. If you’ve ever seen the aftermath of a crotching incident you’d understand.

I think their AMA would benefit from some more questions

Thats hardly a high bar is it?

And thats the convicted ones. Hospitals are denying that rapes took place, when CCTV evidence confirms that actually they did.
If we consider how biased the public is towards transwomen, how many are getting away with it in broad daylight and not being convicted, arrested or even investigated because the police are captured by the ideology of this "most oppressed, most abused" demographic?

All good points, necessary.

Good point @NecessaryScene. Obviously I was not actually suggesting making everything mixed-sex in earnest, but your post is a helpful reminder of what 'transwomen are women' mentality allows to happen - removal of safeguards for women and exposing them to predators.

Iirc that excludes TW prisoners with a GRC.

And it only includes currently incarcerated offenders - it was 92 serious sexual
offenders this time last year.

That bloody census is so darned transphobic! I demand a recount! Ref! He was offside! Waaaah! I want my mummy!
That's all I've got to say on the matter.

Bugger I did. Look at me all far rightwing! And everything.

Did you mean to post this?

Great, so happy most tw are safe, even better, with the stats as they are, tw are safe as houses in the mens. Cant justify being in with the women now.

2,499 in 2,500 men are not convicted sex offenders - let's make everything mixed sex!

One thing to bear in mind is that the current rates of male offending against women are in an environment with still largely effective safeguarding and segregation where necessary.

You're not looking at the baseline rates when that's not in place.

So one possible factor for the higher rate for "transwomen" could be due the increased opportunity they've been given by getting a pass on access to women's spaces, or women letting their guard down around them. It may be closer to the underlying non-safeguarded male risk.

You missed the bit about being in league with the far right.

I can't believe someone has actually posted this. They've sat there and typed it out. Unbelievable.

Can you point that other one out to me then? Because i can't p oint to the men that are rapists and the ones that aren't so what so special about this group?

This data is dynamite.

I hope someone is shoving it under the Scottish Chief Feminist's nose.

Wow, let's rejoice and celebrate their stunning bravery then!

242,999 in 243,000 women are not convicted sex offenders - no need for DBS checks for women anymore

584 in 585 trans women are not convicted sex offenders.

That may be so, but you have ignored the ratio, which is very much higher than in women and five times that of men.

He may be thick, but I doubt that's the only thing wrong with him. They toe the party line, in order to get on.
