At least they said trans woman in that headline to make it clear 

a lot of media reporting doesn't

no threat / no increased risk / transphobe blah blah blah incoming 

Warwick are you suggesting the 97% increase is solely down to trans people?

Warwick are you suggesting the 97% increase is solely down to trans people?

I'm not sure.

My observation would be that from a very low base number a large percentage increase could have been created by a relatively low increase in numbers.  

The kind of numbers I've seen myself of men committing sex offences who call themselves women but still have the penis with which they committed the offence.

2016 number was 74 convictions.

There are 125 transgender prisoners in the UK, and 60 of them have committed one or more sex offences.

What do you think about those numbers Davos?

Davos is still trying to get his head around the fact an increase of 100% just means doubling 

I think Davos what Warwick is trying to say is that he's a massive bigoted w**ker.

(Should clarify that the 74 number was 74 women (whether these are women or transgender women is unknown) convicted in 2016 of sex offences)

If we assume that fewer of these 74 were transgender women, knowing that there are 60 transgender women in prison for one or more sex offences (counted separately) would have a significant impact from such a low base.

Could you explain that comment, Warren? 

It's wild how quickly you can go from being "woke" for being a man who is interested in protecting and enforcing womens' rights to being a "bigoted w**ker" for doing the same.  About 5 years I'd say it's taken.

My 08:44 was unsurprisingly accurate then

Oh look!  The criminal justice system is using self-ID to identify women!  What a massive shock.

Warren is the usual woke graduate antipodean,  brainwashed by

angry university lecturers 

Warwick what's your point? 

My points are:

(1) A reported increase in sex offences committed by women is in part simply an assignation of offences committed by men to women.

(2) Records kept by the criminal justice system on sex of offenders is often based on self-ID.

(3) Allowing offenders to self-ID is fundamentally wrong in numerous ways.  
 

(4) If offending figures based on race were similarly collected and reported and an increase in crime by white people was characterised as an increase in crime by black people it would never be allowed.  And rightly so.
