Hate to break it to you but most of these are by black men and unsolved in marginal communities.

Would be nice to see more public awareness around this instead of ignoring it and instead looking for instances where it can be turned into some sort of political attack.

I fully support the LGBTQ community (other than trans men competing as women) and it's *freaking* ridiculous that they can be repeatedly attacked and assaulted and it's only a "big deal" if it can be turned into political fodder.

Gay and trans (men) are typically found in large cities and are disproportionately attacked by minorities, especially if they are minorities themselves.

I wish they were respected by the politicians that claim to care for them instead of used as a convenient prop.

Considering 115 people have been murdered in Chicago this year.... I'd say they have a murder problem that's got nothing to do with LGBTQ.

This was the second trans murder victim in Chicago in the past week? She was beaten and thrown in a dumpster. That’s a lot of rage behind this murder and hopefully CPD can find her killer(s) but the closure rate is abysmal.

From the article were a total of 57 Trans murders in 2021, which is 1/2 the number of murders that have occurred in Chicago in just 3 months. Which has had 115 murders this year. If you want to talk about outrage, where is the outrage for these other victims?

The fact is that there doesn't seem to be much concern over minorities being killed. That is unless they are killed by a white person then and only then do we get people going into full rage mode.

This is bigger than just an LGBTQ+ issue.

Probably people getting mad about false advertising. They pick up a woman named Samantha and later turns out to be Some Man, Duh.

People are too quick to murder these days. The criminality in this country is just mind blowing. And it won't get any better, unfortunately.

I met her once. She was a great gal. So sad

Unfortunately, this is true. The trans female, still in procession of branch & berries, preforms oral sex on some male they are barely acquainted with, afterwards displays the male parts, and murderous rage erupts. Doesn’t make it right, but it is an easy cause and effect example that most people get.

There are much fewer employment options for them.

I don’t believe it’s a conservative or liberal thing and I doubt killers vote, or majority of thugs vote.

I have to agree. It's their choice and after, they tend to orbit in certain circles, so to speak. And certain circles easily result in certain actions. Why would someone go and spend life in a cubicle, when it can make lots of money in an hour or so.

Brazil, for example, has very prosperous business venue, doing sex change operations on young males that go into porno or prostitution business after.

Outside of disoriented few that really honestly believe in them being whatever, most of this is very pragmatic financial decision - with according consequences. Prostitutes are killed left and right, no one even mentions this.
