    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.
