So this is bullshit on a few levels:

The overall population levels listed correspond to England, but the data they used for the number of trans women is for England and Wales.

Furthermore, the census data showed ~262,000 trans individuals in England and Wales however:

In response to the Census, 118,000 people indicated that they were transgender but did not specify whether they identified as a trans woman or a trans man. Of those who did, the data was evenly split between those who identified as trans men, and those who identified as trans women – with 48,000 people identifying as each.

So that’s not the number of trans women in total, it’s the number of trans women who chose to disclose their gender identity. The ratio of those that disclosed was a third trans men, a third trans women, and another third nonbinary or other gender identities. Assuming the did not disclose trans individuals follow the same pattern, that’s 78,600 trans women.

I couldn’t find where the 92 trans women sex offender stat was derived from. However, it’s important to note that sex work is typically lumped in as a sexual offense. And we know how love to arrest people for “being trans while walking.”
