Trans less likely to be murdered than average. GLAAD statement saying they are mass killed is a lie.

submitted by GConly from self.GenderCritical

Because I thought this was worth its own post.

The number of Homicides in America in 2020 was 16,425. 44 trans or GNC dead.

So 0.3% of homicide victims. According to the Williams poll they make up 0.6% of the population. Half as likely as a random soul to be murdered.

Even more remarkable when you realise how high their involvement in drugs and prostitution is. I think one may have been a hate crime.

Pro research finds the same.

The overall homicide rate of transgender individuals was likely to be less than that of cisgender individuals, with 8 of 12 RR estimates below 1.0.

In the UK from 2007 to 2017, we had around 6000 murders, 6 were transwomen. 0.1% of our homicides. Best estimate is trans made up 0.2% of the population at that point. Again, half as likely.

And this holds true for Brazil too. 2019 saw 124 trans victims out of 41,635 dead. Again about 0.3% of the total. Vs..

As main results, we found that transgender individuals represented 0.69% of the sample, whereas non-binary persons were 1.19%

So, there you go. They're lying shits.

When you compare the homicide rates of the TIMs in the US who are killed to the homicide rates of American males of their same age, race, socioeconomic background, history of criminality and incarceration etc who are not trans, it becomes clear that TIMs from racial minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds - the ones mostly likely to die of homicide - actually have vastly lower risks of homicide than their non-trans peers.

A young black male from a poor, high crime area in the US is much, much less likely to die of homicide if he's trans than if he's not.

Conclusions (at the top of the paper):

Antiviolence public health programs should identify young and Black or Latina transfeminine women as an especially vulnerable population.

Discussion (further down):

The estimates suggest that overall in the United States during 2010 to 2014, transgender residents may have been at lower risk for homicide than were cisgender residents.

Hah. Funny how they had to extract some kind of politically-palatable takeaway to put at the top... "I don't like your conclusions." ... "Ok, well this subset is more vulnerable even though the whole cohort is not?" ... "Perfect, there's your conclusion. Run it."

Even then the black and latina are only at a slightly higher risk than women, and only because of their involvement in sex work and crime.

I'm tempted to hit Twitter to point this out to the dozy actresses who signed the GLAAD letter.

I think black and Latino TIMs' risk of dying of homicide is equivalent to women's risk overall, but it's very much lower than the risk of black and Hispanic women.

Also, TIMs are men socialized into male behaviors, which means many of them are quick to strike out in violence and anger when they take offense or feel frustrated. Moreover, trans lobby groups say that more than half, perhaps as many as two-thirds, of black TIMs have served time behind bars. One of of 10 black TIMs will serve time in prison or jail in any given calendar year.

Ooh.. can you give me sources? That's stuff is gold dust.

Incarceration rates have been disproportionately high among transgender women, with estimates of incarceration history ranging from 37% to 65% in convenience sample studies (Brennan et al., 2012; Clements-Nolle et al., 2001; Garofalo et al., 2006; Reback et al., 2001).

Nearly one in six transgender Americans—and one in two black transgender people—has been to prison.

The rate of incarceration for black transgender women is almost twenty times that of the general population, with one in ten black transgender women having spent time behind bars over the past year.

Trawl through my history here and you'll find the sources of the claims about the murder/homicide rates and risks.
