Calls to combat a purported epidemic of killings targeting transgender people, especially women of color, are rising, even though U.S. data indicates that people who identify as members of the opposite sex are less likely to end up as homicide victims than their non-transgender counterparts.
Kentucky State University associate professor Wilfred Reilly found that the 2017 homicide death rate for transgender people was about 1.48 per 100,000, less than a third of the overall murder rate of about 5 per 100,000 and a fraction of the rate for men in general (6.68) or black people (18.8).
“All of these large groups — blacks, poor whites, Latinos, men — have a murder rate that’s an order of magnitude higher than the transgender murder rate. That’s what I found,” Mr. Reilly, who teaches political science at the historically black college, told The Washington Times. “The transgender murder rate seems to be remarkably low.”

Don't hold your breath waiting for Politifact or USA Today or Yahoo! to Factcheck the claim that there is an epidemic of anti-Trans violence, which is repeated regularly in the Media.
To put it in perspective, the Murder Rate in the two lowest US States, which are overwhelmingly aged and White, NH and North Dakota, are the ONLY states with a murder rate lower than Trannies. The murder rate for Trannies in the US is slightly less than that of Maine. VERMONT and South Dakota have higher murder rates, FFS.
Why, when they are accused of sex crimes! Then, it's a "Male"
