Transgender people are murdered at lower rates than the overall US population — and when they are, the killer’s primary motive is usually not bias, according to a pair of researchers.
The findings, published by the right-leaning Manhattan Institute’s Vincent Lundgren and Colin Wright earlier this year, seemingly debunk claims by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and other nonprofit organizations that there is an “epidemic” of deadly violence against the trangender community driven by “transphobia” and even “white supremacy.”

In the cases where suspects were identified, black suspects accounted for 65% of perpetrators, while white suspects accounted for 18%.
“This finding is not the result of one bad year or a handful of outlier cases,” the researchers stated.
The report noted that in 2020 — the year HRC attributed the deaths of “our Black trans siblings” to “an epidemic of violence” fueled by “systems of white supremacy” — not a single white suspect was identified in the cases the Manhattan Institute researchers verified.
Confirmed hate crimes were only found in 3.3% of cases the Manhattan Institute studied.
“The leading identified circumstance of the murders was instead intimate partner violence,” the researchers wrote. “Other common circumstances included sex-work encounters, disputes, robbery, and other forms of interpersonal conflict.”
“In other words, the dominant pattern is not hateful white men hunting down black transgender victims because of racism and transphobia,” they continued. “It is violence between people who know each other, sleep with each other, live around each other, or encounter each other in high-risk contexts.”

Because "intimate partner violence" can also be hate.
We're not talking about lover's quarrels that get out of hand here.
It's prostitutes who turn out to be not as female as initially advertised.
Transgenderism seems to inspire violence and hatred.
The vast majority of murdered homosexuals are murdered by other homosexuals. Police call it “homocide”.
jealousy, betrayal, etc are not hate....but are illogical emotions that control some of us.
Trans on Trans. Generally, not considered news worthy by the main media.
Hatred is the bedrock of transgenderism.
Crazy people acting crazy. It couldn’t be any other way.

Aaaannnnd, it’s another “Duh” moment brought to you by reality.
Oh, that’s a relief.
I suppose next time we hear about domestic violence between a man and a woman, that should be the first thing we should reference.
What a bunch of pathetic idiots.
I guess I’m not an expert on some topics.
You don’t have to be. It’s self-evident.
media recognizing what normal Americans new to be true for 20 years.
In tomorrow’s surprise we will explore the theory that water is wet.
These people are dangerous and crazy. We know it but we are supposed to pretend otherwise, no deal.
“Murders of transgender people primarily motivated by ‘intimate partner violence’ — not hate: report”. It got intimate alright.
Takes a lot of self-hatred to want to cut off your tallywacker.
Anyone who watches any of the cop and detective shows on TV already knows this. “Free spirits” bite the dust at pretty young ages.
