Kathleen Stock (OBE), Rosa Freedman, and Alice Sullivan submitted this to parliament using the 'Swedish cohort study' (yeas really) to point to 'trans women retain male criminality'.

The 'Swedish study' is well known in trans circles, because it's findings have consistently been misrepresented to demonise and scaremonger about trans women.

The fact that large sections of the submission are 'plagiarised' isn't as big of a deal as ignoring the conclusion of the study, that says criminality was ONLY significant in the cohort PRE-1989.
Even the author of the study disagrees with what transphobes keep using this for.
