Four times the number of sexual offences committed by 'females' is a massive increase, which ought to warrant further investigation. But Norway knows exactly what has changed - the category of 'female'.
And this pattern is repeated in other countries with self-ID - Canada and Ireland being prime examples - because male-pattern offending, regardless of how a male identifies, is retained. https://twitter.com/Mason134211f/status/1307373520876449792?s=19
In Ireland, dangerous male-bodied offenders are now being held in the female estate; and the female estate (not equipped for such high-risk offenders), prisoners and guards must bear the consequences. https://twitter.com/radicailin/status/1317856443983417351?s=19
In the UK, the MOJ acknowledges that the recording of offenders as male or female is "likely" a "mixture of physiological and personal identity", and confirms that prisoners are "normally based on their legally recognised gender" - ie, MIXED SEX prisons. https://twitter.com/STILLTish/status/1340682694850715649?s=19
