"Cis people who ask trans folks to 'be reasonable' don't understand that transphobes will try to kill us regardless of whether we are calm and measured or scream & swear at them." -- Bose-Rosling (She/They/Ze/Xe) ([twitter.com profile] AidanTheJester), 2022-11-19

"And too often their idea of 'be reasonable' is 'tolerate overt disrespect and dehumanization'" -- Jori ([twitter.com profile] MAGICALGAYMERS), 2022-11-19

"There are 327 reported murders of trans and gender-diverse people between 1 October 2021 and 30 September 2022. With 222 cases, Latin America and the Caribbean remains the region that reported most of the murders.

"The data continues to indicate a worrying global trend when it comes to the intersections of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and whorephobia, with most victims being Black and migrant trans women of colour, and trans sex workers."

Graphic from TGEI Trans Murder Moniroring project, summarizing a few stats avout the 327 transgender people murdered between October 2021 and September 2022, worldwide.

Today is the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, recognizing the people murdered for being transgender in the past year, and bringing attention to anti-trans violence. At least 32 in the US, at least 327 worldwide, whith who knows how many not counted because authorities misidebntified them and misgendered them in death. (It is not uncommon for a trans murder victim's community to not find out for weeks, because police gave out a name their friends didn't know ... which impedes the investigation as well.)
