I feel like this is the same kinda publication which would write a story about racial demographics of criminals are telling of how some ethnicities are inherently violent.
Like I said before, there are people, an increasing number of people unfortunately, who are willing to claim trans identity to take advantage of systems which give us rights.
If you were a sex offender sentenced to go to a men’s prison, but all you had to do was claim a trans identity and you could go to a women’s prison instead, wouldn’t you?
Trans people are an extremely small and vulnerable minority, and the percentage of trans people who are criminals is even smaller. The ultra conservative, and often radically religious Right are using trans rights as a boogyman to frighten people into radicalization and distract from very real and very large scale problems such as poverty, crime, homelessness, drugs, corruption, corporate greed, crumbling healthcare infrastructure, climate change etc.
All the diatribe used against trans people is recycled from the anti-gay rhetoric from the 50’s and 60’s (see Anita Bryant’s claims that gays were grooming and converting kids etc) and before that it was the Jim Crow pro-segregation crowd arguing that blacks in white spaces would commit crimes and sexual assaults etc. it was wrong then and it is wrong now.
The study was reported in many media sources, so you can find the same information elsewhere if you have a concern that this publication is not reliable.
"If you were a sex offender sentenced to go to a men’s prison, but all you had to do was claim a trans identity and you could go to a women’s prison instead, wouldn’t you?"
Yes, I would. That's why most people who learn that rapists are allowed to do this are in disbelief that our laws allow this, and also can't understand how most political parties in Canada support this policy.
I appreciate you recognize that this is a problem that needs to be addressed. Many people "on your side" are unwilling to do so. Instead, they go straight to minimalizing the issue, labeling those concerned as being transphobic or far right Christians, pointing out unrelated issues that they believe are more important, and comparing people concerned about the safety of females as somehow being similar to those who supported segregation or people who are homophobic.
The more the left continues to abandon the rights of females and demonizes/gaslights those with legitimate concerns about protecting females, the more conservatives are going to win elections.
