Let's talk about statistics.
Did you know that the year that the transwoman Lauren Jeska was convicted of theattempted murderofthe man investigating Jeska's eligibility to compete as a woman, Jeska was recorded as a woman for this crime.
As a result of Jeska's conviction being counted under the female heading in the stats, the number of women convicted for attempted murder that year increased by 20%. That's how small numbers work.
And now, let's talk more about statistics.
99% of sexual offenders are male.
88% of sexually offended against are female.

Many people are surprised to discover that despite an approximately 50:50 female-to-male in the total population, less than 5% of the total prison population is female. The 3.9% figure is an all-time low following the release of the least dangerous prisoners in the wake of the UK Covid-19 lockdown on 23 March 2020. In fact, this is a pattern repeated globally: the female prison population is always a small fraction of the total prison population, with this less than 5% figure consistent across settled western democracies such as western countries of the European Union and the U.S. and countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
This difference between female and male criminal offending is even more stark when it comes to prisoners serving sentences for one or more sexual offences. In fact, at no point in the two decades since 2001 has the percentage of male sexual offenders dropped below 99%. This stark sex differential in sexual offender is the same in the U.S. and other comparable countries, notably Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland and the Nordic five (made up of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland).

So do you really think that in absolute numbers, the number of female sexual offenders will be greater than the number of transwomen? In 2018-2019, the entire female prisoner population in England and Wales totalled 2,638!
The male population totalled 69,546 over the same timeframe. And let me let you into a secret. According to Ministry of Justice surveys, 1 in 50 of the male prison population now self-ids as trans. 2% of 69,546 is... 1,391 (rounded to whole numbers).
Which presents you with a dilemma here. Either these prisoners are lying about being trans, possibly to get moved to the lower security women's prisons, or they're not. I think they're lying. Maybe you will decide they are not.
