22 of us killed

If you open the link, there are images of the 22 transfolk. Sadly, nearly everyone shown is a woman of color.
At Least 22 Transgender People Were Killed In 2019. Here Are Their Stories.
On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the 22 transgender and gender non-conforming people killed so far this year.
Nov. 20 marks Transgender Day of Remembrance, designated to honor transgender and gender non-conforming people who have been lost to anti-LGBTQ violence.
The honorary day was created by trans advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith in 1999 after Rita Hester, a transgender woman, was murdered in 1998. At least 22 transgender and gender non-conforming people have been killed in the U.S. in 2019, according to the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ advocacy group.

"Disobedience in the eyes of any one who has read history is man's original virtue. "—Oscar Wilde.
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the Government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it is all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag.

Well that is awful Miki. Is the trend the same as over here, increasing? Attacks and hate crimes on transgender people are on the increase in the UK. Things seem to be going in the wrong direction here at grass roots level, but good things are slowly happening in UK administration. The Conservatives, on the right, strangely enough, are more TG friendly ATM than those on the leftist, Labour TERF riddled ranks.... I doubt the Liberal Democrats are totally free of them either, I've yet to hear a peep out of them in support of Transgender rights.

Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar during last night's Democratic Debate both mentioned LGB...T Rights and their total commitment to their enforcement.
