Likely there is no good evidence showing trans people are more likely to be murdered than women. But really you're not going to show this by comparing absolute numbers, because trans people constitute a much much smaller proportion of the population.

Also, murder isn't exhaustive of the experience of violence. If it were then men would be by far the most likely victims of violence. (Albeit perpetrated by other men.)

I think men are the most likely victims of violence on all scales, aren't they?

Probably not domestic violence, and definitely not the more serious categories of domestic violence. But yes, much more likely to be victims of assault.

Given that most couples are heterosexual, yes, domestic violence is more likely to be serious & reported when it comes from men.

Oddly enough though there is some evidence saying domestic violence highest in lesbian couples; and higher across the board in LGBT relationships.https://www.advocate.com/crime/2014/09/04/2-studies-prove-domestic-violence-lgbt-issue …
