Interesting data that indicates we really are women

[Myself]

That's a weird way to see what you want to see...

There are violent mtf, there are also violent women and comparing prisoners to non-criminals and deriving a conclusion is a fallacy.

Also deciding a person's gender because of the person's violence tenancy is simply inaccurate. There are plenty of men who are simply soft and are still male men.

To encourage you I would suggest you to look at brain scans comparing people with GID to men and women, there is enough physical evidence to support your claim of being a woman by comparing your brain to normal women, more than there is when attempting to compare it to a male brain. Just google.

A more accurate (yet still lacking) statistical test with regard to prisons is to consider the percentage of men who go to prison of men in the population vs the percentage of women who go to prison of women in the population and then compare the percentage of transsexuals that go to prison of transsexuals in the population.  Do not ignore the base rates!

those figures would be skewed by the fact that a lot of jailed TS are jailed as either men or women - not as former men/women.

Though the godly lot don't like it....

Brain sex and configuration leads to many, many differences.... and though 'norms' are prevalent as in big numbers.... sliding scale variation are there too... crime stats are naturally going to reflect this too.

Males are generally more aggressive outwardly... physically women may display more verbal and relational aggression, such as social rejection...

But physically violent women are an option as are passive men.

Generally speaking women are in prison for doing villanary in benefit of there families or kids... shoplifting food and kiddie clothes or not paying bills typical... Men are in for a whole host of other reasons a lot of it personal gain, sexual or just general aggression toward others...

Either sex can be in for alcohol/drug related offences...in the UK alcohol linked crimes are running at 70%+....Booze is bad folks...when done to excess...

But back to trans valadation data,  percentages of trans folk (mainly M-t-F studies) are backed up now by interesting research tis true but a lot of it is new science, ongoing...
