This was a bit of detail earlier from an article reporting the rise in female sex offenders.
Transphobic propaganda relies on painting trans women as nefarious, the idea that female sex offenders already lurk in female spaces presents an obvious chink.

This is from the Fairplay for Women article which is a blatant attempt to deflect and turn it onto trans women.

So here is where they start playing loose and fast with the victims of sexual assault....
They just unashamedly start suggesting the rise in recorded female sex offenders is due to trans women identifying as female...

This often shared piece from the guardian ten years ago, shows the experts trying to raise concerns of the amount of underreported female sex offenders....clearly not talking about trans women..

Anyone can go through the sex offenders database....and cross reference it...they will soon see trans women could not possibly be skewing the results of ~50% of the population.

Here is the meat on the bone.
This is what Fairplay for women excel at..... juggling non-sequitur statistics and inventing a brand new reality...

So when we click on the hyperlink above, we get here....
It says the MOJ released statistics that show half of the trans people in prison have been sentenced for one or more sexual offences.
Half, 50%.....thats the first part of the equation...

Did the MOJ say half of trans people in prison were sexual offenders.... NOT AT ALL.
The data provided by the MOJ was clearly graded unreliable and that 'no conclusions should be drawn'

They only recorded long-term prisoners, or long term prisoners wanted to identify as transgender.
A million petty offending trans women could have beem through without a single one registering.
Thats why all percentages are bunk.

If you have no idea how many trans women are passing through prison without coming out, or for short crimes...you cant say 'half of all trans people in prison are sex offenders'.
You dont have any base number to work from.

If you ONLY looked at LONG TERM cis prisoners.....half of them will be sex offenders, because sex offences are usually longer sentences.....the sleight of hand isnt rocket science.

Every time you find stats that are based on a percentage of trans women in prison for sex offending, you now they are utterly false and debunked.
A significant foundation of gendercritical propaganda is based on these blatant lies.

The worst thing about this, is these people would rather bury their heads in the sand, ignore the issue, and use the victims as a platform to attack trans women with more propaganda,.. than have a grown up discussion about safeguarding.
I wonder why that would be?

Back this to this image again.
Even using Fairplay for womens statistics they have around 60-80 amab people identifying as trans women in prison long term, likely to be 4 years or more
The data below is 4yrs.
But the rise the article is stating is a rise of over 1000!
