In 2016 there were 22 instances of "fatal violence" against trans people, for a rate for about 1.4 in 100,000
http://www.hrc.org/resources/violence-against-the-transgender-community-in-2017

In 2015 there were 15,696 murders in the US (and who knows how many additional instances of "fatal violence"), for a rate of 4.9 in 100,000
https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-09-29/race-and-homicide-in-america-by-the-numbers

So that's one less thing to worry about, at least.

That's because when you go trans you gain body armor and vitality. Trans level 2 gives and even bigger boost.

Likely has everything to do with the fact that the majority of murders are gang related and trans people aren't exactly a huge proportion of gang members.

Yeah but trans people are way more likely to get murdered for being trans than straight people for being straight. This is just like that "more white people are in prison" shit that misses the entire point

I was under the impression that murder was a credible threat to trans people's lives. Now I know it's not and that's cool.

Also I can only imagine many/most trans people purposely choose to move to more tolerant areas specifically to avoid the risk of violence against them. At least the ones where moving is feasible for them.

Wrong. Trans people make up at least 75% of the newest gang "Antifa". Maybe you've heard of them.

They're just as bad as the Crips, Bloods and MS-13. Killing people all day for selling on their turf...

Oh wait they're a protest group that occasionally uses violence and are in no way comparable.

I don't think any of the rocks Antifa has indiscriminately thrown into crowds of people or clubs swung at people's heads have yielded deaths yet. But at Charlottesville, they broke someone's leg and permanently blinded someone, and hospitalized a few others. They advocate for a "diversity of tactics," which means committing acts of violence and vandalism.

Which is fair, to say they're not good people. But I don't really think it's fair to say "Group of terrorists that commits murders" if they haven't actually murdered anybody. Like, the Charlottesville stuff is certainly bad, yeah, but it shouldn't be used to take away from a group that ACTUALLY killed somebody in Charlottesville.

Yeah they don't commit murders, they commit assaults and acts of vandalism. They intentionally all dress the same (they call it forming a "black bloc") so the police can't catch the criminals doing crimes. They've done way more actual harm overall in the last couple years than the conservatives in Charlottesville because they're tolerated at worst and celebrated at best, and the media constantly tries to downplay the impact of their actions.

Here are cops who were told to stand down when Antifa went and started beating people at an April 15th protest at Berkeley:

Antifa isn't a queer organization, they're anarcho-communists (mostly). I think calling them all trans was a joke about their SJW-y-ness. There are probably more trans people in Antifa than the general population but they're probably not a significant portion.
