Henderson’s death was not an isolated incident. Federal data from 2016 shows that about 0.6 percent of the adult population of the United States — 1.4 million people — identifies as transgender, but that community experiences violence at a disproportionate rate. According to the most recent U.S. Transgender Survey, one in 10 respondents experienced physical violence in the previous year. In 2016, Mic.com released a database that tracked transgender homicides since 2010. The study found that from 2010 to 2014, the murder rate for people ages 15-34 was one in 12,000 people. Among black transgender women, that number was one in 2,600.
