Dumbest thing ever. Look at the facts. The trans population is estimate anywhere from 0.01% to 0.33% of the population. There have been 23 trans murders these year, supposedly one of highest years for trans murder. Using the smaller population numbers you come up with 3,800,000 trans in the US, with 23 murders, and you get there is a 0.000007% chance of being murdered if you're trans. Now let's look at another group. We'll take white people. With a population of around 197,000,000, with 3005 murders, you get a 0.000015% chance of being murdered if you're white, double that of trans. Now take into account the many of these trans were murdered while engage in prostitution, and murder rates for people working in the field are much higher than the rest of the population, trans people should feel pretty safe. Also the fact that you use "anti-trans" violence is ridiculous since most of those murders were committed while engaging in prostitution or by someone they were in a relationship with. Quit trying to make it sound like there are roaming death squads walking the streets murdering you people in the thousands because there's not.

    I'm not sure where exactly your numbers came from for the trans percentage, but if we use the smaller percentage of .01% and the 2014 U.S. population of 318.9 million, that comes out to 31,890 trans people, nowhere near 3.8 million. That would change the murder rate to a 0.00072% chance, roughly 48 times the murder rate of white people from the numbers you gave. If you use the [i]much[/i] higher number, trans people still have about 1.5 times the murder rate. This should also require citations if you're going to claim it as facts and make such sweeping statements about the murders.

  • Before you start checking math you should learn it. 0.01x319,000,000=3,190,000, 23\3,190,000=0.00000721. I transpose a number wrong. You suck at math. My figures still stand. Buy a calculator.

    Multiplying something by 0.01 is equivalent to saying it is 1%. You done fvcked up boy. Edit - you should learn to check your calculations before you start being a smart ass.

  • Lol. Your post said 0.01%. I'm no rocket scientist, but I can say with pretty good certainty that 0.01% is not the same as 1%, which is what multiplying by 0.01 would be. I'd suggest taking a look at your own math skills, specifically how percentages work.
