In the last 5 years in the United States and its territories, trans deaths have increased. This deaths are at the intersection of racism, sexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia & unchecked access to guns.
Here are some notable facts I found while combing through the cases:
โWhile many other states have had #trans murders, the South dominate the list compared to any other regions
โWhile trans women/femme make up predominately most of the murders by far, I think its important to note that if you look at just the trans men/masculine who were murdered, 40% were killed by the Police State๐ซ
โWhile the details of these cases differ, it is clear that fatal violence disproportionately affects transgender women/femme of color โ particularly darker skinned Black transgender women/femme with Latinx women/femme and Native transfolks following as the next most impacted demographic.๐ซ
โI think that its important to note that most of the homicide involved intimate partners and firearms
โThese stats aligns with cisgender women/femme national stats in regards to intimate partner homicide๐ซ
