Transgender people are about as safe as anyone else in the u.s.



Trans people are a group that isn't as safe as others: https://www.hrc.org/resources/violence-against-the-trans-and...


44 transgender people killed last year.

19,000 people killed last year

0.6% of the population is trans according to wikipedia.

So we should expect 114 trans murder victims if they had the same rate of being a victim of homicide at the standard population

Looks like they're safer.

Also I said about as safe. Your risk of being involved in a homicide is ~1%. You'd need to be at a much higher risk of being killed before this impacts your overall safety.
