surprised they have the categories separated. meanwhile on wikipedia there's a "List of acts of violence against LGBT people" which includes everyone together and a "List of people killed for being transgender" because we have to remember that they are so super extra special and must be protected at all costs

The older years only recorded crimes motivated by sexuality but they added gender later. And again i suspect that a large number of the gender bias incidents is actually homophobia. For example most violence against transgender people is related to prostitution. The guys committing those crimes are doing it because the MtF prostitute made them feel gay for a second.
