So yearly average should look like...

Assaults by women: 14.6/year [117W over 8 years] Assaults by TW: 3.5/year [7TW over 2 years]

TW Percentage in the population: 0.6% TW percentage in ”women” who commit assault: 24%

My brain is currently tired from work, fried, so someone correct me

For such a small percentage of the population, they sure overrepresent women.

Thank you! I'm thinking I should also add in the 4 assaults on guards to the TW total. Math is not my strong point, but I'll try to update the calculations soon.

Just to note that the 34 transgender prisoners currently in women's prisons breaks down to 20 TiFs, 4 NoBs and 10 TiMs (or thereabouts). It was higher in 2016-2018 though with 22 TiMs, but some have been sent back to the correct prison.

It's not nearly as good as the previous one, which I have not been able to find - OP author can you please repost it??? - but hopefully it's helpful. Math checking and input are appreciated.

There's a couple of problems with the premises. The 7 assaults by transgender prisoners also include those by FtMs and NBs housed in women's prisons, and some of those could have been before 2016. I confirmed two incidents of sexual assault by MtFs in the papers (Karen White and one other) but the other five are unknown. Plus the non-trans sexual assaults could also include those of guards on female inmates, and we don't know how many.

Argh it's so complicated, I really wish there was better data.

Me too, the government seems reeeeeeeealy reluctant for anyone to know what's going on.
