That seems really low to me for a global number, especially given how trans people are criminalized and villified in so many countries.
The villification is why the reported numbers are so low.
So many of us are robbed of our identity in death.
That’s a good point, thanks to deadnaming, this number could be VASTLY under-reported.
And even when they get it right, if they don’t explicitly have something to flag the person as trans, then the data doesn’t get accounted for in crime statistics.
And speaking as a trans person, the last people I want to know that I’m transgender are the police, so even self under-reporting could be a factor
Ya, my first thought was “wow i thought it would be much higher”. Glad it’s not though.
That’s what I was thinking… “Man, even for the US that seems low… wait, GLOBALLY?”
A rise in racism? Transphobia isn’t racism, right? It’s equally as short-sighted and fucking stupid, but it’s not the same.
Isn’t that a lower rate than cis people?
Like worldwide, even if only 0.1% of people are trans (an intentional underestimate for conservative numbers) that’s a murder rate of 4.3 per 100k people. The worldwide average is 7.5.
I keep saying this: marginalized and discriminated people are the best ones to own firearms.
Don’t trust a society that hates you to protect you.
Then why isn’t America the safest country in the world?
You’re not repeating some deep wisdom to enlighten poor oppressed idiots who just don’t know how cool guns are, you’re repeating marketing slogans for a gun lobby who worked out they can sell hero fantasies to leftists too.
I wonder how much higher that rate is than the national average when accounting for demographics.
That was my first thought too but the total is globally, so it seems like quite a small number even when considering trans people account for ~1.4% of the world population which would be about 113,036,000 people.
Man that’s fucked up.
“Good news! Proportionally, less trans people were murdered!”
That’s why I said accounting for demographics. There are proportionaly more trans people in richer countries where murders are also lower. But I don’t know how one would do that full demographic comparison.
There are proportionaly more trans people in richer countries
There are proportionally more openly identified trans people in richer countries
