"98% of those murdered globally were trans women"

Appeared on an internal work message board last week. Do organisations have a duty to ensure that information that is published internally is not misleading?

It just shows that some people just look at stats and headlines/memes and don’t actually question or ask?

Yes, see the promotion of the entirely false statistic pushed by Munroe Bergdorf, Paris Lees, Patricia Arquette etc that the average lifespan of a black MTF trans person is 35.
