I’m autistic - High Functioning Autism - so I have done the stats, and the sexual offending of transgender people is the same as biological males.

And she is right, it is. I am also HF and I'm a bit obsessed with the numbers and good data sources.

I've asked some on some trans rights subs for evidence TIMs commit crime at a lower rate, all I got were articles about police victimisation and poverty. A lot of them know the offending behaviour is the same and are trying to obfuscate that fact with waffle.

Do you have a link? I find it to useful to save things like this to have handy in arguments

Here’s the most cited article on this issue: “Second, regarding any crime, male-to-females had a significantly increased risk for crime compared to female controls (aHR 6.6; 95% CI 4.1–10.8) but not compared to males (aHR 0.8; 95% CI 0.5–1.2). This indicates that they retained a male pattern regarding criminality. The same was true regarding violent crime.” https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885

Does it mention sex crimes? I've read this paper and I didn't see anything about that in particular
