of murder than cis people are), with the exception of black trans women, who have terrible outcomes across the board. I'm curious if this is due to greater sexual conservatism and lack of trans support in black communities? I'd love to read good studies if you have em!

I tried looking into this and couldn't find any meaningful data. There is a website which tracks trans murders, but they show far fewer than would be statistically expected given that 0.6% of the nation identifies as trans. I assume there are many trans murders we don't hear abt
-
due to many people identifying as trans in surveys but not being publicly identified/identifiable as such in the event of a murder. I'm curious if you found any reliable statistics on the trans murder rate.

Can you post the data you’re looking at? Is the black white murder difference bigger for trans people than for everyone?

So, some things to keep in mind that those statistics rely on: -gender being reported accurately (often, trans women are reported as men, may not be out, etc) -the cause of the crime being accurately reported Keep in mind that "trans panic" is STILL a legal defense some places

One thing I'm looking at is https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5551619/ …, still reading through it so let me know if you have issues with it, but so far it seems to take those things into account

Before the trans Twitter community comes out in force, this video by
@SophNar0747 who is a trans woman herself, put heavy research onto the trans murder rate. There is evidence the trans murder rate isn’t as bad as the media make it out to be. -
Can I have sources please anytime trans people say how high the murder rate is they can never give me sources

Both
@kittypurrzog and@jessesingal have made sensitive, reasonable contribution to the broader trans conversation (despite as hominem attacks from some quarters) and may have other good sources.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
