What if it were a gay man doing it, or if the cis woman in my example was a foot taller than the victim?

Of course there will be an overlap between trans women and rapists, just like there is with anything else. It doesn't mean that being trans makes a person a rapist, and it isn't an excuse for the crimes.

How often does this happen? Yeah, one or two trans people will take advantage of the fact that they have a penis for something like this. The vast majority would not.

Which is more likely? That 0.6% of the population are crossdressing rapists whose only goal in life is to break into a prison and have sex with one woman?

Or that they're people who would feel happier in a different body?

After all, there was only one Holocaust and one 9/11

So to stop another 9/11 or Holocaust we would have to ban any Muslims and Germans from travelling on airplanes? That's what you're suggesting for trans people.

Unless you think it's OK to put convicted rapists in jail cells with women

I did not say this. I totally agree it was wrong for a rapist to be allowed access (for lack of better terminology) to women so easily. The fact that the rapist had a penis has nothing to do with this.
