In leau of that data they went away and made up their own and built a house of cards on a bunch of assumptions on the prison population and types of prisons they are housed in.
They didn't make up any data. They reported the data that they found in the inspection reports.
Along with information that was not contained in them. They were forensically accurate about what was wasn't available in order to draw a conclusion.
Eg whilst DV is not something to be ignored it is also not something that has any bearing on public safety in public spaces and given the made up data is supposedly showing a concern with the more serious crimes,
The only concern is to be able to effectively dispute the assertion that transwomen, by identifying as female, somehow have female pattern violence.
I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that's a man convicted of domestic violence is somehow both displaying female pattern violence and is not a threat to any other woman because he doesn't know them.
Do you really think people are bothering to spend all this time so they can go ner, ner?
Every few weeks there is another trans-identified male in the paper committing a crime that is wholly outside the normal female criminal pattern. And people, personally, have experienced male pattern aggression, intimidation and threats. It's everywhere online.
But transactivists will still say no, prove it! Which, given the small number of actual trans people, is difficult. The information is not being officially recorded.
Where it is being recorded it backs up exactly what I said.
"A similar observation has been published using official prison data and by interviewing transgender inmates in Californian prisons in the US. From a male prison population of approximately 130,000 men, a total of 298 TIMs were identified. Sixty-eight of these were sex offenders (20.5%). This was higher than the average rate of sex offenders in prison among all male inmates (14.6%). Similarly, the proportion of TIMs in maximum-security prisons (custody level 4) was higher than the average rate for all male prisoners (32.1 vs 22.8%)."
From the Uk:
There is no official information published on the type of offences committed by TIM inmates. However, there are eight male prisons in England and Wales known to house only sex offenders (at least 98% of the population of those prisons). A total of 46 TIMs were identified in these sex-offender prisons (Figure 7, dark blue). This represents almost half of all TIMs currently housed in the male prison estate.*
There is little studying being done about this, but one study that has been completed claims:
"The incidence of transvestism in sexual offenders, however, has been found to be very much higher. In a study of over 500 sex offenders, it was observed that over half exhibited transsexualism and/or cross-dressing as their primary paraphilia."
At the other end of the scale any rational person can see that it would make far more sense for a voyeur to get a job as a janitor than commit perjury with a false statutory declarations and the upheaval and difficulties in their daily life to change their primary identity documentation to the opposite sex to give them very little advantage in practising their voyeurism.
You're kidding, right? A stat dec is based only on what the person says. There is no test for transgenderism. It's not identifiable, nor verifiable by any objective means. It's entirely subjective.
Predators spend literally years grooming their victims. They will go into healthcare, scout leading, the clergy, teaching. All to gain access to their victims.
But yeah, filling out a form would be too difficult and an upheaval.

We have at least four trans people posting on these boards, who are aghast that transactivism is campaigning for self ID in their name.
No one, other than transactivists are seeing the benefit to it. Because it's so easily exploitable.
Neither do many transpeople agree with the direction the transwomen are women assertion is going. Women's sports, all women shortlist, twits making a point of trying to change fitting room policies, Hampstead heath women's pond, targeting businesses, claiming biology is exclusionary, etc.
We shouldn't have to keep rebutting the claims that men who identify as women are the same as women.
I will post the analysis to the Swedish study, once I have it. But in the meantime, anyone can read the reports about transwomen in prison in the link below.
