In America, out of nearly 11,000 child sex offenders, 5 were trans.
89 were politicians.
301 were police officers.
578 were ordained priests.

sex being so common, I would guess these ratios are the same around the world.

@GeofCox I can't recall where I saw a graphic about what people want. They were pretty much on the same page regardless of political views: social security, public transport, public health, education, etc. - everything a normal person would want.

So what can you do when people are on the same page? Throw something in front of them they can fight about like gender, immigration, etc. - it works like magic: Divide people and distract them from the true issues.

@PaulaToThePeople @GeofCox

It was 93,6% men in 2021 in the US according to this report: https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/quick-facts/Sexual_Abuse_FY21.pdf

Pretending that sexual assault by women (or people outside of the binary, for that matter) doesn't exist makes it harder for victims of such actions to understand and deal with their own experiences.

That doesn't negate the fact that sexual assault by cis men is a MASSIVE problem and a systemic issue, of course.

@GeofCox 5/11000 is under 0.05%. The lowest percent of trans people in the US by state (North Dakota) is 0.3% (https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/ucla-reports-14-million-us-adults-identify-transgender)
Conclusion: If you're going to leave your kid in a room with someone, all else being equal, it should be a trans person.
UCLA reports 1.4 million US adults identify as transgender

New survey finds population doubled from estimates a decade ago.

@GeofCox forgot to mention: the offenders data is almost certainly underreporting, but a) I have no reason to think the reported distribution skews differently than the actual distribution in this respect and b) if it DID I'd bet it would overreport trans people.

@GeofCox Looking at the statistics it becomes quite clear child abuser has the tendency of being quite conservative and, even if there is no ethnicity data in the article, I think white. But obviously the problem are always minorities with no history of any kind of violence.

Thanks. ♥️
Reminds me of heterosexuals doubting homosexual parents could not raise children in a non "deviant" way. As if heterosexual couples had a stellar track record and no abuse.

@GeofCox trans (if extrapolated from % of population):10 times underrepresented
Police (if extrapolated from % of population) 10 times overrepresented. So lets have trans people police police officers from now on. Makes more sense. #transrightsarehumanrights

@GeofCox the number of family members is unusually low, I think. It's generally the vast majority of cases, but probably in the reported cases there's a lower percentage as most of those crimes go unreported.

I actually question those 5, too. With our justice system the way it is, they were likely railroaded.

I spent half a year in jail for a crime I didn't commit, that the DA *knew* I didn't commit. Not a sex crime, mind you, but still....
