fuckallies: On average, you have a 1 in 18,989 chance of being murdered A trans person has a 1 in 12 chance of being murdered The average life span of a cis person is about 75-90 The average life expectancy of a trans person is 23-30 years old 75% of people killed in anti LGBT hate crimes are poc Think about this the next time you go crying over “cisphobia” and “reverse racism” MESSAGE

Sorry, I had to research this:

The 1 in 12 claim is made up and massively inaccurate, however LGBT people are estimated to be 2-3 times more likely to experience physical violence



Transrespect.org’s Trans murder monitoring report puts the number of trans people murdered between Jan 2008 and May 2016 at 2115 (roughly 300 per year world wide), with a shockingly high percentage taking place in central and South America.

I couldn’t find any source for the 23-30 year old lifespan, except that the average age of trans people murdered between 2013 and 2015 in the US (~40 cases) was 31.

But did find some research suggesting hormone therapy may increase the risk of some conditions (eg. increase in Cardiovascular disease by 1.3%, higher risk of cervical and ovarian cancer), transwomen have an increased chance of Deep vein thrombosis

Young Trans people (who are not accepted by their families) report much higher levels of depression, illegal drug use, suicide attempts and unsafe sex

Trans people are 10x more likely than cis people to attempt suicide. Suicide is a leading cause of unnatural death in trans people

75% of trans victims of violence being PoC is unfortunately true(PDF)

No, cisphobia and reverse racism aren’t real, and i’m not defending cis/white people at all. Nobody deserves to be attacked because of their sexuality or gender. All the numbers in these sources are unquestionably too high, without exaggerating them.

But please don’t spread made up statistics. They do nothing but exacerbate an already horrible situation.
