"When you pretend the only danger is men "pretending to be trans," you get backed into corners. Males who identify as women DON'T have a lower rate of physically violent criminality than other males, and UK inmate data shows they are more likely than other men to be sex offenders."

In the US, transgenders (according to various studies) have a 19-65% lifetime incarceration rate, compared to a 3% lifetime incarceration rate for the general population with most of those being males.

Can you link a source for this?

In addition to the sources BEB has provided, see the ones in my post on this thread. And the other ones you can find in my post history on saidit.

Pro-trans researchers and campaign organizations routinely trumpet and highlight the sky-high incarceration rates of TIMs as evidence of rampant transphobia. My sense is, discriminatory attitudes towards gay men, male transvestites and prostitutes of both sexes probably does come into play in a number of cases that cause TIMs to end up behind bars. But at the same time, some of us suspect that the sky-high rates of incarceration amongst TIMs are also reflective of higher rates of criminality amongst them.

Interestingly, what evidence there is so far shows that compared to the rest of the female population, TIFs have higher rates of criminality and incarceration as well.

Narcissism means that they empathise with people less and that others are just substitutes to them and not real persons.

Because of this - I see nothing strange in increased crime rate.

PRISON HEALTH June 2018 Creating, Reinforcing, and Resisting the Gender Binary: A Qualitative Study of Transgender Women’s Healthcare Experiences in Sex-Segregated Jails and Prisons Reisner

Lifetime estimates of incarceration range from 19% to 65% among transgender women (Reisner et al., 2014, Garofalo et al., 2006, Clements et al., 1999, Grant et al., 2011), compared to less than 3% of the U.S. general population (Glaze and Kaeble, 2014).

(Another study) US Transgender prison incarceration rates crime

Overall, 19.3% of transgender women respondents reported having ever been in jail/prison in their lifetime. In a multivariable model with sociodemographics (Table 1, Model 1), respondents with a history of incarceration were somewhat more likely to be binary gender-identified and significantly more likely to be people of color, have low income, have lower educational attainment, be publicly insured or uninsured compared to privately insured, and to have been sampled in-person compared to online. No significant differences in geographic region or medical gender affirmation between transgender women with and without history of incarceration.
