Also, since most of the trans people murdered are young black or Latino males, their homicide rates really need to be compared to males of the same age, race/ethnicity, geographic locale, socioeconomic status, etc.

In the US, black and Latino TIMs actually are considerably less likely to die of homicide than other males like themselves who don't claim to be trans. For young black men living in high crime areas in the US, being trans seems to make them much, much safer than comparable males who don't say they're trans.

The dramatically lowered rate of homicides for young black TIMs relative to other black males of comparable age, background, locale etc is especially stark when you take into account that trans lobby groups say at least 50% of black TIMs in the US have already been incarcerated. TRAs allege this is solely due to factors like transphobia, racism, unfair policing and an unjust criminal "justice" system... But others might see it as an indicator that these are disadvantaged young men who tend to engage in a high degree of all sorts of criminal activity, experience lots of drug and alcohol addiction, and suffer from general social dysfunction, mental illness, stormy unstable relationships, and lives marred by violence - other people's violence as well as their own.
