Why are trans people the "most marginalised and vulnerable" in society?

Trans people are often described as being the most marginalised and vulnerable in society.

I do not pretend that people who identify as trans aren't subjected to prejudice or ridicule and indeed, sadly, threats of violence. Yet how is it quantified that they are THE most vulnerable within the UK? What evidence supports this? I genuinely want to know because I find it difficult to find statistics that relate exclusively to the UK.

I found some here. In the article it is reported that the same period 1800 women were murdered.

Where are the stats on the trans people murdered?

Somewhere between 6 and 9, since 2010, depending on criteria. If you pick 9, that's how many women have been murdered in Britain so far, in 2023.

They're not, it's a lie, nothing more than a propaganda strapline.

Good question of which I’d also like to know the evidence and criteria which backs this up.

I’ve just watched Stephen Flynn of the SNP state this in parliament.

what make me question this…
from 2008 to 2022 eleven trans people were murdered in the U.K.
in 2020 one hundred and ten women were murdered by men 🤔
