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.
