This is interesting data. Combined with Section 1 ("The Swedish Study") in the same document, which states that MtF trans are just as likely to be convicted of a crime (or violent crime) as a man, I agree this implies that the rate of sex offenders among transwomen must be like 3.5 times higher than the rate among men.

Tbh I'm not convinced that this justifies treating all trans people as sex offenders. (Nor do I treat all black people as violent thugs, despite 13 51.) But your other point is well-taken: just because someone seems nice, doesn't mean that they're not a predator. I could believe that it's a lot easier to tell, at a glance, that someone isn't a violent thug, than to tell that they aren't a sexual predator.

There's also a social affiliation aspect. You could say something like: "If you choose to be trans *despite* knowing this statistic, then that says something about you. Who would seek the company of pedophiles but a pedophile or an enabler?" I'm not sure, though. I can easily imagine someone wanting to be trans but resenting the affiliation with "the trans movement."

Not trying to start a debate, just wanted to give my honest reaction. I certainly agree that sexual violence and pedophilia are morally despicable and should be taken extremely seriously.
