Quite.
And NZ person of the year must’ve heard ‘grooming gangs’ and immediately thought ‘trans grooming gangs’, which seems to indicate their own personal biases!
As an aside I really don’t know why it’s still controversial to acknowledge that one particular observable manifestation of CSE in Britain (on street groomers who offended as a collaborative group in midlands and northern towns and cities) involved a disproportionate amount of perps of Pakistani descent and/or Muslim faith.
Other types of CSE recorded amongst British citizens and/or residents have different observable patterns (eg the ‘sex tourist’ paedos who pay to rape kiddies in Cambodia are overwhelmingly white,
the paedo housemasters who raped boys in boarding schools were overwhelmingly white, sports coach paedos who sexually abuse child athletes are overwhelmingly white. All the Catholic Priest paedos were, unsurprisingly, Catholics)
Observing patterns in criminal offending isn’t bigotry.
It’s not misandrist (or transphobic!) to state that approx 98% of sex crimes are committed by male offenders and approx 95% of violent crimes are committed by male offenders.
Paedos are bloody everywhere and the only way to stop them is to study patterns of offending and try and invent new safeguarding protocols to prevent access to potential victims.
