You understand why that stat is a poor stat to base your transphobic comments on right? Like you can think about why trans status would be over reported in the prison population and under reported in the general population.
Secondly the data hasn’t accounted for economic circumstances. Without adjusting or analyzing the data you might just be showing that transgendered people have a lower socioeconomic standing or just suffer from other issues which contribute to rates of crime.
And even if transgender women did commit sex crimes at a higher rate that isn’t a reason to descriminate against them.
And even if those stats are accurate are discrimination and hateful language like “real women” isn’t going to protect anyone.
