Brazil had highest number of trans people murdered in 2025 - report

[IwantToRetire]

This often comes up on threads. So not sure if it is the most accurate but here is one report on the number of trans people murdered in 2025.

Brazil had the highest number of trans people murdered in 2024; however, this year, the country reported 34% less murders, down from 122.

Globally, there were 281 reports of murders of trans and gender-diverse people in 2025, 90% of the victims were trans women and 88% of trans people murdered last year were Black or Brown.

68% of murders of trans people took place in Latin America and the Caribbean. Europe saw five murders while the US reported 31, down from 2024’s figure of 41.

As well as grossly manipulating the suicides and suicide risk to transgender people.

Back when twitter was twitter a US man took the prior years (2+) DoR US list and pulled each public police crime report and linked media.

From memory
The majority were not white.
Majority TIM
The most were solved /had a main suspect

Common factors included
DV from a male partner
Poverty
Suspected gang/ drug dealing (including partner) link
Prostitution

There may have been 1 or 2 where being a TIM was a clear factor but not the only factor homophobia etc may have been an issue too.

Overall stranger danger was low

If not living in poverty and/or white there was much lower risk of murder.

He did the maths for black males and black TIM and Black TIM was a safer demographic.

His years could have been unusual or a trackable slice of a pattern.

So knowing any additional factors are important to assess population % when looking at any data.

What does this have to do with feminism?

This post is on the wrong board.

This is the board to discuss sex and gender.

Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

When we are told, time after time after time, that TIMs are the most vulnerable members of society, this is a very relevant discussion for women who are tired of being gaslit.

This board gets a lot of whataboutisms from the TRA community as drive by scolding or by some skewed data.

If there is one thing to nobody can deny about the posters here on MN it is that they do their homework.

I doubt these trans women were murdered for being trans. Much more likely they were murdered because they were sex workers, therefore easy targets sadly. I don’t know the stats (maybe someone else does) but I doubt there’s much difference in the number of trans sex workers murdered compared to the number of female sex workers murdered. Or even male sex workers

I doubt reliably robust info would be available specifically for the number of trans identified males in prostitution in Brazil, or the number of women come to that. But it’s been established before in other data that it carries a higher risk of violence including murder, for fairly obvious reasons.

Safer than women in fact.

As everyone has said - Brazil will likely have the highest number of sex worker murders too. Possibly also the highest number of murders of women. All that can be deducted is that Brazilian men are more murderous than others and that the people having sex with Brazilian men are in danger.

i wonder in Europe whether the chance of being murdered if you're a transwoman is higher or lower than if you're a woman.

I've worked through the numbers for UK and US several times in the past and the results have tended to be that transwomen face a risk broadly on a par with women and much less than other men.

@nauticant its a well known cult tactic to claim that those outside of the cult want to harm or kill cult members. This is done to create a them vs us mentality alone with reinforcing cult bonds and doctrine whilst severing outside ties. Its all part of brainwashing cult members and its outrageous that such tactics are being used openly by schools, businesses, governments and support/pressure groups and charities, it shows us how deep the rot has gone

Yes, and that holds across races.

Yes but when you get that sort of stuff you need to correct them and say that isn't what i asked.

As I said, unfortunately AI like google itself now produces "informaton" based on what is most popular.

So sadly like wikkipedia and all the other virtual "resources" women are left having to correct the biases on men.

I agree with all those posting about how harmful the hysterical myth about violence against trans people is.

And usually when starting a thread based on a newspaper article I just use their headline.

Perhaps I should have titled the thread "Good news, murder of trans people has been widely exaggerated"

And that was one of the reasons for linking to the article, because it comes up so many times about how trans people suffer more violence that any one else.

But as also said, any violent death is horrible.

And not only for the vicitm but for survivng family and friend it must be really disturbing to have the person they knew being exploited in this way.

The recent UK stats on murders are in the article I linked to in this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5487018-homicide-in-england-and-wales-year-ending-march-2025-ons

I’ll agree with you here, to this particularly thread, it is irrelevant. I’m genuinely flabbergasted though that you’re working so hard on this point to calendar years… it works for you that BG was murdered a few months out of your window

Odd post. Are you suggesting that any time we contribute to a particular unfortunate incident / accident / assault / death and so on, that we mark all others that have suffered the same fate?

That doesn't help their victim narrative though, does it?

Come on now, you can’t believe they were friends

Every person murdered in the world is a tragedy for their friends and family, that is a given.

However, the population of Brazil is something like 213 million.The number of trans people murdered in Brazil in 2025 was 80.

The population of the UK is about 65 million. The number of women murdered in the UK to the year ending in March 2025 was 155.

Statistically it is far more dangerous to be a woman in the UK than a trans person in Brazil. Funnily enough there aren’t huge headlines about this worrying statistic either in Brazil or more surprisingly in the UK.

A well put, succinct summation of a rather bizarre thread

Do you know anything about the case at all? How do you think they lured Brianna to the park? Scarlett and Brianna were classmates and hung out together. Eddie Radcliffe was Scarlett’s friend.

3 years ago. It’s one particularly shocking murder. Literally no one said there has never been a murder of a person identifying as transgender in the UK. As pp said there have only been about 9 in recorded memory. It’s nothing like Brazil. Thanks for grudgingly conceding that it isn’t relevant to this particular thread. The thread exists because there are false claims of a “trans murder epidemic” and that is used to claim by TRAs and their supporters that trans identified males are a more vulnerable population than women. Hope that helps.
