Globally 62% of trans people murdered are women in sex work. Almost all the other trans people murdered are trans women who are killed by their own male partners. As with cisgender women, the risk increases the less resources & services are made available to at risk trans people
Which is why they tend to be women of colour, SWers and, in Europe, migrants. Find myself looking at every politician, charity & business posting about TDOR and wondering whether they are pro sex work decrim and trans women’s access to crisis services. If not it all seems hollow
They weren’t killed because of who they are, they were killed, in part, because of deliberate political choices to ignore activist pleas to reduce harm and to provide resources https://twitter.com/uklabour/status/1329695983224033281?s=21
