From "Murdered, Suffocated And Burned Alive: 350 Transgender People Killed In 2020" by Jamie Wareham, 2020-11-11:

"Behind the statistical representation of numbers and percentages, there are people whose lives we value and who we, as societies, failed to protect," report authors say.

This sits alongside a global recession in trans rights, with countries from Hungary to Poland seeing shifts during to pandemic towards anti-LGBTQ policies and rhetoric.

In the UK, Transphobic hate crime reports have quadrupled over the past five years.

And in the U.S. the Human Rights Campaign have seen the most violent year against trans people they've ever recorded.

[The annual International Transgender Day Of Remembrance is 20 November, tomorrow.]
