While I was at the USCA I learned that one of the biggest issues the trans community faces when it comes to gun violence is that often times Trans people are misgendered by law enforcement, local media and even family members.
This often can make the the amount of gun violence the trans community faces be reported as significantly less then it actually is. Which is horrifying because of how many hate crimes can go unreported when people are not identified as being trans.
Gun violence in the trans community is due to high suicide rates and as for misgendering unless some of the people flat out say I’m this or I’m that before you can open your mouth how the hell are we supposed to know what they identify as
excellent picture..i'm so lovin it
Are they shot for being trans by police? I'm not sure how being misgendered by police is related to gun violence?
No, not shot by police. As victims, they are misgendered/dead-named, and thus the hate crimes statistics appear to be lower than they actually are.
If they were armed it would cut down on this a lot
Misgenderd? Are you serious. By law enforcement? Seriously! how do people make this crap up????
That is actually completely made up and people are dumber for reading it. May God have mercy on your soul and those who believe you.
