plus like “trans people” as a class are more subject to violence but the statistics on murder are mostly poor women of color, who by being made into statistics and compressed into being trans are (a) stripped of their individual dignity and humanity and (b) depoliticized as working women of color subject to racist and misogynist violence

i really, really do not like how much it can be about “trans people” and that’s just the bare shade of an improvement over the other ways that violence is whitewashed
