To play devil's advocate a tiny bit (I know, I know, debatebro, but it's in good faith, trust me), I wonder how much of the increased victimization is due to lower incidence of sexual assault against specifically cisgender boys, and how the data looks when broken down along gender lines (or compared to just cisgender girls).
Straight, cisgender males commit the vast majority of sexual assaults, and I don't imagine the average sex predator would respect the gender identity of an afab enby or transmasc when deciding whether to assault them. Unlike with cisgender teens, of whom only around half are likely to be victimized by a straight male predator, both many trans girls and boys are at risk.
Obviously the point of the infographic still stands because perpetration rates are still lower, it's just the first thing that popped into my head.
