No. It is homophobic to use the argument about lesbians being more of a risk or danger than other women. It is homophobic to use the argument of homosexual males being more of a risk then all other males.
Just because you are bisexual, doesn't take away the fact that what you did was homophobic.
Lesbians are not MALES. I hope that that helps you to see that your comparator is very wrong.
And do you know, using the census data and extrapolating the number of males who identify as women that are in UK prison at the moment, the rate is that the risk that one of those males has committed a sex crime is 1 in 585.
Nothing at all like a female rate of committing sex crime.
Yes, men are vastly more likely to commit sexual/violent offenses than women. However, if a female inmate is in a high-security prison because she committed a violent/sexual crime, then she is surrounded by women who have also committed a violent/sexual crime.
How about you go and get some numbers for the numbers of women in the UK in prison for a sex crime and come back and tell us?
And again, if you look at the physical differences between transitioned males with lowered testostorone vs women, you would know that the power difference is STILL huge.
So it comes back to the risk of that person committing of a sex crime. And the comparator is MALES not females.
"The rate of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization is at least 3 times higher for females (13.7%) than males (4.2%). This has been attributed to the fact that a majority of prison officials do not view female-on-female sexual assault as “true rape,” making them less likely to reprimand inmates."
And your answer??? To put males in the equation to add even more risk to female prisoners. How terribly kind you are.
It has been already noted in evidence to the Ministry of Justice of instances of females being subjected to having to witness males at least with full erections plus some masturbating in the showers, deliberately with the curtains wide open. And those women who complain, are told by the prison that they are transphobic and punished.
Do you understand what that can do to females who are sex abuse and assault victims.

Have a read of this. This is the case of a female prison officer who had to watch a transitioned male prisoner masturbate and expose their genitals while using the toilet. Because that was her job and this prisoner was on suicide watch and knew that a female prison officer was watching.
"Women are not powerless -- we can help transgender people out."
FFS. Do you honestly believe that ? That women are either physically powerful enough to overpower the average male (including those taking testosterone)? Or that women even have any fucking power while in prison?
They are told they are transphobic if they complain about males masturbating in the showers!!!!!!
"Transwomen were some of the most important figures in securing gay rights in American history."
Not according to the actual still alive 'important figures' who were active in securing gay rights. According to those people, trans lobby groups seem to have been making up stories and retrofitting falsehoods to the reality.
Women are NOT HUMAN SHIELDS for any MALES. We are not support humans. We are not resources to be used to make some people feel better. We are not people to put to risk like this.
Maybe you have the privilege to make all these arguments.
Women in prison have no voice. And while it may not matter to you, I have had a female family member in prison recently, so the very real possibilities of all this, is not a theoretical exercise to me.
