Yeah... Virtually everyone killing black transwomen has been a black guy.

There's been like one hate crime ish death in America, all the rest died from normal murders (sex workers/drugs/partners). They die at a lower rate than other men too.

It's all bollocks.

This is an important point that doesn't get emphasized enough, and isn't obvious/intuitive even to most trans-skeptical people. Although I don't have current stats on it, I'd speculate that in the United States, trans women are also higher SES than most other populations, which is another indicia of "privilege."

The KKK wishes it was nearly as good at killing black people as McDonalds is

Who's going to tell them to stop killing themselves?
