  • Dumbest thing ever. Look at the facts. The trans population is estimate anywhere from 0.01% to 0.33% of the population. There have been 23 trans murders these year, supposedly one of highest years for trans murder. Using the smaller population numbers you come up with 3,800,000 trans in the US, with 23 murders, and you get there is a 0.000007% chance of being murdered if you're trans. Now let's look at another group. We'll take white people. With a population of around 197,000,000, with 3005 murders, you get a 0.000015% chance of being murdered if you're white, double that of trans. Now take into account the many of these trans were murdered while engage in prostitution, and murder rates for people working in the field are much higher than the rest of the population, trans people should feel pretty safe. Also the fact that you use "anti-trans" violence is ridiculous since most of those murders were committed while engaging in prostitution or by someone they were in a relationship with. Quit trying to make it sound like there are roaming death squads walking the streets murdering you people in the thousands because there's not.
