Trans people have a lower rate of victims of homicide than cis people, to be clear.

Well I was asking because I was reading accounts online of ex-trans people saying this is exactly why they transitioned, so I think it does make sense for at least some people, even if there's not that many.

No, invalidate the fact there are social incentives.
It's possible they were deluded about how easy it would be, but that doesn't negate the fact they cite social incentives.
