Haven't dug into it to see how strong that evidence is, but to say none seems incorrect.
- nepeckman 5y agoIt is actually incorrect, I just responded to that comment. See below: If you read the article you linked, you will find that is not true. From the article: "between 2016 and 2020, there were seven sexual assaults against females in women's prisons by trans women." 7 assaults in 4 years is not 5x more. If you are referring to the statistic that "trans inmates are 1% of the population and commit 5.6% of the assaults", you will find that the trans inmates in question are actually trans men being incorrectly housed in women's prisons.
- rmah 5y agoI see, thanks for the clarification
