Chicago mayor declares ‘trans femicide state of emergency’ — despite 1 trans woman killing this year

Woke Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declared he was reupping the city’s “Trans Femicide State of Emergency” to highlight violence against transgender women — despite just one reported killing of a trans person this year, compared with nearly 200 other murders across the city.

His social media posting announcing the initiative drew widespread mockery as critics pointed out his bizarre focus on a small population as the city is plagued by dozens of weekly shootings primarily involving Chicagoans of color.

Johnson’s declaration suggests an ongoing epidemic of trans murders. There have been 14 transgender people were killed in Chicago between 2016 and 2024, according to the Chicago Public Media-owned Chicago Sun-Times.

So far this year, Chicago has recorded 198 homicides — the vast majority of whom are men.

“For too many transgender Chicagoans, the sense of belonging they deserve in their city has been denied by exclusion and barriers to opportunity in spaces that should feel safe and welcoming,” Johnson wrote on X Sunday.

“Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans. This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more connected city.”

“Transfemicide” is defined as the “targeted killing of a transgender woman motivated by transphobic and misogynistic hatred.” The city first implemented the state of emergency in 2024.

On the weekend of his posting, 39 people were shot, six of them fatally, including an incident where an SUV pulled up to a crowd and opened fire, wounding 12 people ranging in age from 17-47.

The number one-two topics on tranny sites:
“should I kill myself?”
“Do I look enough like a woman?”

[Dilbert San Diego]

One transsexual gets killed and its a state of emergency.

Hundreds of black people are killed every year, but no emergency is declared.

I don’t get it.

I don’t know what it’s like now but it used to be that the weapon of choice for crossdresser hustlers was the straight razor.

Obviously trannies are at or near the top rung of the leftist food chain. Here is the communist hierarchy:

* Leftist billionaires who fund the overthrow of our country and civilization.
* Organized crime bosses, such as the Mexican cartels.
* Leaders of tax free foundations, NGOs, universities, leftist churches and synagogues.
* Antifa or BLM Terrorists.
* Transgenders
* Pederasts
* Lesbians
* Homosexuals
* Pornographers
* Neo-Pagans or Satanists
* Muslims
* Black Americans
* South Asians
* Karen type leftist non-lesbian women
* Hispanics
* East Asians
* White Americans

The two layers above white Americans are considered "white adjacent".

You can move up the communist food chain if you combine two or more of these groups, assuming you are not on the bottom three tiers.
