Male anatomy and entitlement are significant factors in male violence against women and to my knowledge there have been no studies to suggest that there's a reduction in rates of offending among males who identify as non-binary or transgender. We need to be able to make these statements or even to ask the question -- "Is there a difference in the rate of offending among males who identify as trans?" Even if we get shut down, we've made a valid point that sticks in someone's mind. Furthermore, accurate statistics are necessary in order to identify areas of need for all populations -- this is also a valid point we need to be allowed to make.

what I have read is they have a high offending rate that comes down to a level of normal FOR MEN when they transition. They do not come down to a rate of offending for females, but level out a a normal offense rate, I think fair play for women had a graph on it but I don't have the link any more.

That's interesting. I'll have to look around for that. Unfortunately, when you go to look up these statistics, what usually comes up is articles about how vulnerable trans-identified males are.

There's been a big push to record someone's feelings as their sex. I guess that's in a bid to stop this type of data from being available.

What anna wrote is what I have read. In California they did an academic study of trans-identified males in the prison system. At one prison 28% of them were registered sex offenders, at another prison it was 48%. And sometimes it's necessary to remind people that one does not become a registered sex offender by prostituting oneself.

Right, I seem to remember reading pretty high numbers as well. Pretty damning.
