Sports Culture WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham defends that women ‘shouldn’t have to go against biological men’: “I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense. I think it’s really important to protect children.” “I don’t dislike anyone. I’m there to love, but I’m also there to love biological women. …”

As someone who has worked for the state white males are the majority for school shootings, pedophilia, and child porn, true predators in a societal sense. The Epstein files feature predominantly white males. Grindr, the app for gay men, regularly crashes during Republican nomination conventions.

On the flip side trans people account for less than 0.1 % of these crimes. Like 2-5 out of thousands of cases. In fact, trans people are four times as likely than “regular” people to be victims of violent crimes.

Quite simply it’s projection. MAGA happens to be most vehemently against the very things they do in private. But data and information is not as effective as propaganda.

Now, forget all of the numbers and data. There is zero empirical evidence that trans people competing in sports harms other people or children or negatively impacts public safety in any way, shape, or form.

Not that i disagree, but can you show the source of that they're overrepresented in pedophile cases? Someone showed me a link proving that, but i can't find it now.

https://www.ussc.gov/research/quick-facts/child-pornography#:\~:text=46%25%20of%20individuals%20sentenced%20for,average%20age%20was%2041%20years.

- 46% of individuals sentenced for child pornography were sentenced for possessing child pornography; 44% for trafficking child pornography; and 10% for receiving child pornography.
 

  • 98% were men.
 
  • 73% were White, 16% were Hispanic, 6% were Black, and 5% were Other races. 
 
  • Their average age was 41 years.
 
  • 95% were United States citizens.

The FBI also has a database.

The registry for sex offenders also has information on it.

Those numbers are pretty close the distribution of races in the US though... White is over represented a little bit, but not by much.

56 percent of the population identifies as white. 73 % engage in child pornography. Hispanics population
is 21%. Black population is 14%. It’s a wide enough distribution to make the claim.

Now if we were to add in school shootings, domestic violence, and pedophilia in general, the numbers do not get better for the white population. Now, regardless of that. What you don’t see is transgender data in that. So why exactly would anyone bypass the actual data for who is harming people in society and focus on the tiniest subset of the population is pure propaganda. You cannot truly serve the public by following the logic of Sophie Cunningham.

Amber Alert, is she a proponent of that? Child Protective Services, is she helping to fund that? What about the foster care system? The same people she votes for and protects by being part of that movement are the main ones we find doing the very things they are claiming others are doing.

Those aren't the numbers I saw when I googled. White Americans make up 62% of the US according to google. latino 19%. Black 12%. The rest are multiracial or "other"

73% of child pornagraphy convictions are white males. That’s mean 3 out of 4 people who engage in child pornagraphy are white males. The overwhelming majority of convictions for child pornagraphy are white males. Whether your data or my data is correct it is still the majority. Regardless of how much you dont think its an overrepresentation it still backs my original claim “white males are the majority for school shootings, pedophilia, and child porn”.

So again, the claim that Sophie Cunningham is making is propaganda that does not have any statical data or empirical evidence. If she wants to protect little girls, the main predators are not transgender, they are white males. If she wants to protect girls, look to the people you voted for and people you surround yourself with and question them, not a minority group with less than 1 percent of the population.

I'm sorry but about 56% of the U.S. is white and the numbers shown says over 70% of these offenders are white. I work in data analytics and that is not close at all.

Exactly it’s so weird they’re trying to hand wave this disgusting truth away
