A new report reveals that 53 transgender people were killed in the US in the last year, which saw a marked increase in anti-trans legislation and rhetoric.
Lying disingenuous Hack .....
The majority of Trans Murders were NOT because of some hatred of a person for their lifestyle
Insider spent 18 months investigating 175 killings of transgender people. Here's what we found.
- Killings of trans people in the US doubled from 2019 to 2021, as anti-trans laws and rhetoric rose.
- Many of the victims were killed by spouses, partners, boyfriends, housemates, dates, or clients.
- Only 28 in 175 cases Insider examined led to murder convictions; one led to a hate-crime conviction.
How the Trans Murder Spectacle Perpetuates Myths About Justice
Focusing on individual murderers and their incarceration will never prevent the murder of trans people or promote justice.

This piece will prove the falseness of these three myths specifically in the context of the United States, using data from 2012 to 2016. In many other places, including Brazil and Jamaica, the situation is different because trans people are often killed by police officers themselves. But looking specifically at the situation in the United States reveals an important reality: Even when police and prosecutors are doing everything “right,” their goal is not to protect and serve, but rather to incarcerate, repress and terrorize.
Focusing on individual murderers and their incarceration will never prevent the murder of trans people. Instead, we should be uprooting the transphobic ideas that pervade corporate policy, the dominant media, public policy, religion and workplaces.
While some murders of trans people are random attacks by bigots, most murders are related to domestic or sexual violence, similar to most murders of cisgender women. Thus studying the copious statistics on how the police and prosecutors handle domestic violence murders of cis women will help reveal how much the criminal legal system could or could not help prevent the murder of trans people — even if they were to “do their jobs.”
While total intimate partner violence has decreased over the past couple of decades, it has increased as a percentage of the total violent crime committed. The rate fluctuates only minimally over the past few years, even as total violent crime keeps a steady course downward.
I don't think there any more trans murders in the past 5 yrs, but due to political pressure from the Trans Mafia murders are reclassified
