It is ASSUMED the trans murder rate is high, but the problem is that pre-op trans people have to identify themselves as trans to be counted as such, and they have to do so in a way that isn’t in medical records, which makes tracking their population INCREDIBLY difficult.

So anyone that says they know the actual trans population is FUCKING LYING. We have no idea how big or small it actually is. Anyone that says otherwise is guessing or quoting people who guess.



That makes nearly every other statistic about them guesswork.
