US Crimes Committed by Transgender Individuals

For Transgender Crimes in the US, Over 75% of cases involve sexual or violent crimes, with child victims in nearly one in three. Approximately 85% of victims are female—nearly half minors or women in sex-segregated spaces such as prisons, shelters, locker rooms, or bathrooms. Post-transition offending, while less common than pre-transition, is heavily concentrated in women’s protected spaces, with 11–13 cases (33–37%) enabled by self-ID policies like California’s S.B. 132.

Modern politics often treats “conservative” and “Republican” as the same — but they are not. Being Republican is about party loyalty; being conservative is about moral conviction. Nowhere is that divide more visible than in the debate over abortion. The abolitionist conservative believes that to truly conserve moral order, one must seek not to regulate evil, but to abolish it. This essay explores the difference between pro-life pragmatism and the moral absolutism of abortion abolitionism, contrasting figures like Donald Trump and Matt Walsh to show what true conservatism looks like in practice.

The Abolitionist Case: Why Prosecuting All Participants in Abortion Is Justified

From an Abolitionist standpoint, pro-life laws that exempt mothers from prosecution effectively allow the majority of abortions to continue.
