Please consider this data from Women's Liberation Front, Click Here
And please help humanity end "gender identity" protection laws for violent male offenders with past convictions of rape and sexual assault.

Women currently represent the fastest-growing prison population, rising 834% between 1978 and 2015 (more than double the rate for men).
Women's involvement in the justice system is largely tied to their experience of male violence. Juvenile girls are more likely to be arrested for less serious crimes than boys, often directly as a result of attempting to leave abusive home situations or relationships. Women are most likely to be convicted of drug or property crimes, and the rates of violent crime committed by women are significantly lower than for men.
Women are most often first introduced to drugs by their partner, and attempts to quit drugs can result in violence from their partner. When women commit violent crimes, it tends to be against an abusive partner.
Female prisoners are also twice as likely to have experienced childhood abuse than their male counterparts, and eight times more likely to have experienced abuse as an adult. Some estimate that as many as 80 percent of justice-involved women have experienced abuse.

Hi Kathleen,
I am with the League of Women Voters of Seattle-King County, not the League of Washington. LWVWA is who you should contact to address state legislation. However, I will note that the League believes that transgender women are women, entitled to the same rights and protections as biological women. You can see some of the advocacy of LWVUS in this area here[click here] and here [.lwv.org/league-urges-us-senate-pass-equality-act].
Speaking as an individual, I do not see any data in the link you provided that support the claim that transgender women inmates are victimizing biological women inmates in Washington or anywhere else. There is ample data, however, showing that transgender people exeperience disproportionate levels of physical violence behind bars [click here] and everywhere else [click here]. As a League leader, I work hard to fight mis- and disinformation, particularly where it exacerbates discrimination against members of the LGBTQ community. To that end, I urge you to reconsider your harmful messaging on this bill.
For the foregoing reasons, I do not share your stance on this issue and will not be using my time or energy to further your reach.
