Quick google search informed me that:

At least 4 black women or girls were killed a day this year

81 women (multiple races) killed in 28 weeks in America

Across the world, 137 women are killed daily by their partners

That’s just the beginning. I didn’t have the heart to look into how many children and babies were killed. Or hate crimes against lgb or poc.

43 trans or gnc- literally not even just actual trans people- were killed this year in America.

I took the time to read up on each crime- a lot of them have nothing to do with being trans. One of them literally wasn’t even killed, he got hit by a car and that’s being included in this statistic. A few of them didn’t even seem to be the target, just got caught up in someone else’s situation or got killed by accident or while a crime (that had nothing to do with gender) was being committed (one was a security guard who was shot by someone robbing the place he worked at). Also, Like half of the victims were “non binary”. To be clear, some of them were absolutely hate crimes, but it genuinely seems like most of these cases weren’t.

But sure let’s acknowledge yet another Day of Remembrance for the less than 1% of the trans community that were victims of violence. What a pandemic.

Eta because wtf- look up Molly/Oliver Taylor. A teenager who was kidnapped and died (possibly by accident in a shoot out between the cops and her kidnapper). She identified as trans (something her kidnapper wouldn’t have likely known) and so now it’s a hate crime…
