Wait a minute . . .

I do not agree with Markaba's assertion that we are at a higher risk than heterosexual for commission of this crime. I believe the increased risk derives from the social isolation in which we spend our lives, and I am surprised it is not higher given the severity and harshness of that repression - which indicates to me that if we were allowed to live as free men, our race would be significantly lower than heterosexual men.

Actually, I agree with this too! You somehow misinterpreted my post--I believe I said they APPEAR to have a slightly higher rate, but I questioned why that was. I believe it's because so many MAAs are not in the open, and thus not identified, as so many heteros are.

In effect, I believe that, if we MAAs were essentially all identified, evidence would show that we ARE very likely to have an equal or even smaller offending rate than heteros.
