I think the #notourcrimes hashtag is utter nonsense. What does it actually mean? Women trying to distance themselves from other women who happen to use their penises to commit crimes, because they themselves don't commit them? Well a high proportion of men have never raped anyone either so #notourcrimes applies to most men too.
Females don’t have penises. Crimes are registered by sex. Female perpetrators and male perpetrators. A bump in females being convicted for rape has already been shown in statistics.
Is there a reason females are now committing sex crimes at higher rates? Is it porn? Is it a change in the law that is capturing them? Is something fundamental causing females to change behaviour that was reliable statistically for decades, centuries and millennia?
Please tell us Harriet whether research funds should be directed into discovering why this change is occurring so that safeguarding can be changed to cover it.
OR Harriet, is it males being included in female crime statistics making women seem to be committing sex crimes like never before?
If you were serious, you clearly haven’t actually understood why it is important. You have swallowed the activist line of ‘anyone who disagrees is doing so from hate’. Or maybe Harriet, you have the studies we have been waiting for- that prove transitioned males commit sex crime at a different rate to other males? Do you have those, we have been waiting for proof. It will be great to see those new studies. No?
Safeguarding relies on knowing who are the groups that are committing the crimes. To obscure the groups leaves loopholes.
No scared groups! Ever.
