Also iirc the majority of trans "sex offenders" are deemed as such for nonviolent subsistence sex work. People are shitty to us but fetishize us, and some gotta use the latter to get by.

I have zero source to cite because I am tired and my head hurts, so research before spreading further 😅

Oof i hate to tell ya, there's a lot of survivorship bias there. So many of us are in prisons, just not for violence.

I still doubt more than 10% of trans women see the inside of a prison.

Jailed and kept in holding, much more likely. But Elon is basically saying EVERY trans femme american has a violent record of past or present.

The data is probably very incorrect ya. But from what I hear the main thing that skews this statistic is them being imprisoned for sex work, rather than actual violence.

Yeah, that is something I'm aware of, we are over represented as a demographic in prison, but not anywhere near the extent presented in his post.

And it would make sense that it would be for sex work. It's kind of one of those classic things that is more strictly enforced on queer people.

Cool cool! Didn't mean to explain stuff you already knew to you, was just making sure.

Oh no worries, I don't mind in the slightest, it's good behavior to be informing people.

What's "His Majesty's Data"? Or whatever that said?

British stats presumably

Which i should add means a much smaller sample size and it's worth asking yourself how statistically significant less than 100 people is

I saw below it is, not to mention it's assuming a number of known trans women. Lots of issues, garbage.
