That seems really low to me for a global number, especially given how trans people are criminalized and villified in so many countries.
Ya, my first thought was “wow i thought it would be much higher”. Glad it’s not though.
That’s what I was thinking… “Man, even for the US that seems low… wait, GLOBALLY?”
I wonder how much higher that rate is than the national average when accounting for demographics.
They’re definitely a small part of the population, and rates are always more informative than raw numbers.
That said, we know that people are targetted for violence simply for being trans.
A rise in racism? Transphobia isn’t racism, right? It’s equally as short-sighted and fucking stupid, but it’s not the same.
Isn’t that a lower rate than cis people?
Like worldwide, even if only 0.1% of people are trans (an intentional underestimate for conservative numbers) that’s a murder rate of 4.3 per 100k people. The worldwide average is 7.5.
I keep saying this: marginalized and discriminated people are the best ones to own firearms.
Don’t trust a society that hates you to protect you.
Then why isn’t America the safest country in the world?
You’re not repeating some deep wisdom to enlighten poor oppressed idiots who just don’t know how cool guns are, you’re repeating marketing slogans for a gun lobby who worked out they can sell hero fantasies to leftists too.
