    Who the hell says “transsexuals” anymore except folk who were out in the 90’s?

    If you would like to read some articles how about Forbes?

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiewareham/2023/11/13/beaten-stabbed-and-shot-320-trans-people-murdered-in-2023/

    NBC?

    Congress? Bonus points they give you the stories of a bunch of the victims.

    https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/117016/documents/HMKP-118-JU00-20240321-SD015.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiwkbLZm-yLAxXsJzQIHWcVH0cQFnoECE4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3j7JSMJN6lNK6qWRWk6gTC

    How about a long term view over ten years? Statista

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/944726/murders-transgender-gender-diverse-people-us/

    And these are the murders we know. They are difficult to find because a lot of coverage buries the lead on the trans nature of the victims so we only learn about them being trans after the fact. A lot of newspapers use dead names and pre transition photos and don’t mention current names and identities so in some of our communities we only know when someone has died except through word of mouth because when they show up in the paper they aren’t recognizable. This is also why articles tend to use the words “at least” or have inconsistent counts per year. New ones are always coming to light as friends and family struggle to get the word out.

    You do not see these news articles because your news silo filters them out. There are vigils every year where the names are read out. The circumstances of those vigils are that the main reason for the violence was because of the victims gender identity. You asked for sources. Have at em.

      The dude probably would have known these things if he switched to any news channel that wasn’t Fox.

        Honestly a lot of news doesn’t actually cover this stuff as it should. Covering trans topics is usually something that causes backlash or requires a high degree of finesse in reporting and explaining so these modern lynchings go largely uncovered by the big mainstreamers except when they think they have a winner that’s straightforward enough to report in a short quippy segment.

      Yeah and all these dead transexuals, are they dead because they were targeted by conservatives or are you just assuming that must be the case?

      Because that doesn’t look like a concerted effort to wipe them out.

        Read their stories yourself. They are right there. You want me to do all the work for you? Piss off.
