Ok, so let's do some simple math here.

Apparently "at least" 32 trans people were killed in 2022. That doesn't mean because of a hate crime or anything, in total.

26,031 people in total were killed in 2022.

1.03 or 2.6 million adults in the US identity as trans. (though pew research says that it may be as high as 5%)

There are 331.9 million people in the US right now.

So that means regular Americans are being killed at 0.0078%

Trans people are being killed at 0.0012%.

If that math checks out, your average person is being killed at almost 7 times the rate of trans people. Clearly these numbers aren't really accurate, they are fudged so hard to help whatever point they are making.

The biggest danger to trans people is themselves by FAR. Put them in padded rooms if you really care about their safety.
