Posting this for anyone who is interested.

Kentucky State University associate professor Wilfred Reilly found that the 2017 homicide death rate for transgender people was about 1.48 per 100,000, less than a third of the overall murder rate of about 5 per 100,000 and a fraction of the rate for men in general (6.68) or black people (18.8).

“All of these large groups — blacks, poor whites, Latinos, men — have a murder rate that’s an order of magnitude higher than the transgender murder rate. That’s what I found,” Mr. Reilly

Yes, you read that right.

XY trans people are an order of magnitude less likely to be murdered than other men.

Not the 'most vulnerable' group going.

Also most transgender victims are killed in domestic or personal disputes, not hate crimes, so where there are XY trans people murdered it isn't the result of 'appalling transphobia' at all.

Someone needs to send this information to Jo Swinson....

Well I never, who'd have thought it 🤔

This is a very right wing publication. Would be great if a mainstream pub picked it up and verified (HINT HINT If any are reading).

It's the same story in the UK - we've been saying this for a while. Thing is, trans is social contagion, despite what the trans lobby wants us to believe.

And among adults, it's mostly privileged white males who are transitioning. This is a privileged group, it's partly why they're so fucking entitled.

Trans people are more likely to be murders than murdered, in the UK.

Once it's "just" suicide

The suicide stats don't hold up either.

Sorry, that should say:

Trans people are more likely to be murderers than murdered, in the UK

"Trans people are more likely to be murderers than murdered"

But then you are into "Transwomen are Women! .....Not That One!"

Frankly I don't know much about murder rates in USA, Brazil, Mexico or wherever but not many transpeople being killed here.

I think there was a grand total of 8 transwomen murdered in the UK in the past 10 years.

Most were either killed by a john or an intimate partner. One was killed by another transwoman. Another was killed for greed. Zero were killed because of transphobia, all were killed by males and crucially, none were killed by feminists.

From a site drawing attention to murdered transwomen I found that 250 transpeople had been killed in the same period when a quarter of a million men, women and children had been murdered in Mexico.
