Kathleen Stock (OBE), Rosa Freedman, and Alice Sullivan submitted this to parliament using the 'Swedish cohort study' (yeas really) to point to 'trans women retain male criminality'.

Just a reminder that that's NOT an accurate reflection what the study showed AT ALL. https://twitter.com/christapeterso/status/1355932930875396098
The 'Swedish study' is well known in trans circles, because it's findings have consistently been misrepresented to demonise and scaremonger about trans women.

Here's a great thread breaking it down : https://twitter.com/diannaeanderson/status/1355946279696646144
The fact that large sections of the submission are 'plagiarised' isn't as big of a deal as ignoring the conclusion of the study, that says criminality was ONLY significant in the cohort PRE-1989.

Even the author of the study disagrees with what transphobes keep using this for.
