@anemone @Tony @lain @sun Please enlighten me. For about 10 years now, I've been asking people to provide evidence that male people who identify as trans are *less* likely to be sex offenders than other male people. Just days ago I had this argument with someone again and yet again they weren't able to deliver a sauce.

The only two sources on this that I'm aware of are the old Swedish study that found them to have about the *same* rate of being sex offenders, and the UK prison stats I mentioned.

Personally I think "about the same" seems most likely. There's some uwu sensitive guys who are too shy to look in the general direction of a girl who start to ID as trans, and then there's the unhinged cross-dressers and such, so they probably cancel each other out more or less. Would also explain the over-prevalence of sex crimes amongst highly violent prisoners who ID as trans. (EDIT: In the sense that the unhinged ones become rapists whereas the uwu sensitive ones don't commit *any* kind of violent crime, hence the skewed stats from high security prisons.)
