Today, November 20th, is the Transgender Day of Rememberance.

32 Trans people have been murdered this year, just in the USA, over 300 in the past 10 years. At least 15 by police or while incarcerated.

This targeted genocide in America (and around the world) must stop.

The attacks by right wing extremists in the US government must stop.

Can you show us where in your thread where it mentions "right wing extremist"?

I could have missed it....but I'll let you show all of us where it is mentioned in your provided link.

If I recall correctly, a disproportionate number of trans individuals are killed by black men. Don't expect that narrative to ever pop up, though, as it goes against the leftist narrative.

How many were killed by police versus while incarcerated? That is a HUGE difference.

There was a transgender murder near me a few years ago.

The MTF transgender was killed by the 'wife', also a MTF transgender.

The Human Rights Campaign reports it as a hate crime. How? If anything it would be a DV homicide or just straight up murder (person was shot). Not a hate crime. Unless the transgender hated himself?

Forgive me if I want extra details on the stats knowing how they get misrepresented.

Just posted something similiar an another thread. So tired of trans. Why single them out. What about the children, the elderly, and men and women that are targeted everyday....especially the police. Trans need to get over themselves....they are not special.

Before you get on your high horse and throw out some BS about Right Wing Extremist that are responsible for all these deaths, first tell us now many of the deaths were caused by members within the LGBT group.

I’d bet that most of these deaths were at the hands of their own community members verses by roving groups of Nazis and KKK members or by the police. On a side note, I really don’t care what happens in other countries since many of those countries have their own laws. So, as an American I would make it a point not to travel to a country that prohibits my own lifestyle… I love bacon and smoked ham, so I seriously doubt that I will be traveling to Saudi Arabia any time soon.

Your post is basically worthless since it’s based on emotions and very little facts. Sorry, but throwing out Left Wing propaganda doesn’t prove your point.

As Charlie and Rose stated above, you guys/gals or whatever the new term is today are not special, so get over yourselves. If you can simply do that, people might take you more seriously.

And yes, nobody deserves to be murdered for any reason.

It's also important to know the circumstance.

Sex work is common among trans population. Anyone involved in criminal activity is more likely to get killed.

These aren't cases where a person was walking down the street and got randomly jumped during the middle of the day unprovoked. There are usually very specific circumstances.

Not in the link, it's my comment.

Greg Abbot, Desantis, Taylor-Green, Donald Trump, Rand Paul, and many, many more have, and are making hate an open season on transgendered people, and acceptable by other extreme bigots and religious zealots.

Don't shoot the messenger, I just call / post as I see it, as a human being. Some folks here ought to consider their humanity and put it ahead of derrision and hate for others.

No they’re not, just baseless claims on your part. Shame on you.

30 people is a "targeted genocide" ?? That is an insult to the millions of people that have lost their own lives and loved ones to real genocide.



I don't think anyone should murder anyone unless they are asking for it by actively attacking someone and the scene turns into one where it is me or him. Of course it is wrong to target a gay or trans person just for being who they are but how many more people have been murdered for being the wrong place at the wrong time and have white or black skin or even being attacked for being Asian?



Do you really think that "right wing extremists in Government" are suggesting that Trans people be murdered? I'd say we have far more Left wing Extremists in Government that have put a target on white people. They have certainly put a target on Police Officers. There has been 55 murders of LEO's so far this year which is actually down from 66 in 2021.



I agree with you OP murder is bad and should be outlawed.
