The Violence is ongoing TODAY
The number of deaths by homicide reported for the trans community can only be measured by adding up the separate news reports about trans people being killed. There is no requirement for police to try to determine a dead person's gender identity because it would be impossible to do so. They use whatever's listed on the ID of the deceased.
2021 was the most deadly year for trans people by homicide on record. News media has listed the recorded number of deaths by homicide reducing in 2022 and 2023, but I know these numbers are skewed to reduce public backlash. With 2025 around the corner, I am still personally facing the potential of death by the same tactics deployed on the deceased in recent years, and this is amidst the current cyber-crisis that's frequently generated misinformation for crowd control in the past.
Who is killing us?
In 2017, Russian law enforcement started kidnapping, torturing, and killing Russian citizens in what was named the "gay purge". It started in Chechnya and continued elsewhere afterwards. An under-exaggerated number of killings is reported in most news media.
Alt-Right Hate Groups. A.K.A. "Domestic Terrorists"
Transphobic participants in the January 6 Capital Riot who are highly confused and "taking matters into their own hands."
Local and federal law enforcement, firemen, and paramedics are participating.
Anyone wanting to kill someone and get away with it.
How do they kill us?
These are the popular tactics for the above-mentioned to end a life:
With a Rouse (pronounced "rooze") - This is essentially just trying to irritate the person until they make an attempt at hurting themselves or others. If they are successful in provoking the person far enough, the police are justified in shooting the person dead.
Induced Suicide - This is surely the least successful method for murder, but also the least risky for the attackers because there is little or no potential liability for the death. To increase the likelihood of the victim taking their own life, the attackers will find any conceivable way to eliminate moments of happiness and positivity while exacerbating sadness and depression. These deaths are never recorded as homicides.
Induced Overdose - If the victim is a drug addict, it may be possible to intentionally inspire the victim to die from an overdose. It may be as simple as cutting the drugs with a dangerous additive if the victim is an intravenous drug user.
Staged Suicide / Overdose - This differs from the "Induced" Suicide and "induced" Overdose because staging them would mean the attackers killed the person, as opposed to the victim taking their own life.
With a Coup (pronounced "koo") - A coup is when police suddenly rush a person or raid a person's home with guns drawn, and then pull the trigger if they see an opening to make it appear justified.
Read about a few recent instances on my page Trans Hate in the 20's. Two of the people mentioned were successfully killed with "a coup" as they were shot and killed in their own homes by police while they were un-armed.
