@peacefulpete: I hope your family member gets sufficient mental health support, the rate of suicide, both before and after transition is very high. Only healthy, professional self-integration therapy has shown to be effective.
That being said, the rates of sexual abuse per capita by members of LGBT on children is approximately 4x higher than the per capita rate amongst heterosexuals. That is a fact that has long been established by statistics.
Moreover, people claiming to be trans has increased by 10,000% over the past decade. Unless you know something I don’t, this is an epidemic which is purely caused by media exposure and indoctrination. Much like being gay became a bit of a trend in the 80s with similar characteristics and similar problems (many people, but especially children were encouraged to ‘experiment’ causing the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS).
We are going to see an entire generation of people with mutilated genitalia, permanent dependency on hormonal and anti-rejection medication and the accompanying mental health and physical health issues. Off course those people will also want to ‘get their rocks off’ leading to much higher rates of sexual abuse of all varieties as ‘regular’ people don’t find their sexual presentation attractive, they will be forced to prey especially upon the weakest and least protected (children).
And to that last statement, we already have a lot of evidence, from the infamous serial school rapist case in Loudoun County in the US to jails across the world seeing a massive problem with male rapists entering female prisons using the claim of being female and impregnating other inmates.
