I went and searched "Women murdered so far 2020 US". The first result was: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/27/us/transgender-women-deaths.html What a joke! 18 dead men erases all the dead women.

Yep, I was getting that, and most of the results on the first page were about transwomen. And I really can't seem to actually find the statistics on women murdered this year. It's possible my searching skills suck, but I don't think it should be that hard to find.

I realise this has a dreadfully unfeeling tone to it, which is not meant to underplay the seriousness of the subject. It might be that it takes time to produce stats of the best quality. The UK's Femicide Census has not reported on 2019 yet.

Ok, that would make sense.
