The actual connection is that sex workers are more likely to be killed than the average person and an overwhelming number of trans poc are sex workers (often not by choice)

Curious about this! Do you have a good source? I read briefly through some paper that quoted "trans poc as sex workers" as a damaging myth but idk

whether there's an epidemic of black trans women being murdered depends heavily on how many black trans women there are and whether we should expect them to get murdered at the rate of black men or black women.

Well, less. Since they're killed at a rate higher than both

I will say I am extremely skeptical that trans people are LESS likely to be murdered, and would reaaaaally need to see something to back that up.

Trans women have a yearly homicide rate of 6/100K (see pg. 28 of https://assets2.hrc.org/files/assets/resources/HRC-AntiTransgenderViolence-0519.pdf …). Men in the US are 7.4/100K. Obviously there are demographic correlates here, but if you are a random XY individual, being trans is safer.

I would also suggest (from my outsider assessment of wealth inequality in USA) that white trans folks have the financial means to undergo hormone therapies and surgeries younger and afford cosmetics and clothing that make them more 'passable' and less likely to draw attention
