Almost 2 years ago I did a thread examining the circumstances of each name on PFLAG's TDOR 2020 list. The lists are getting shorter every year, but I thought I'd circle back and do another.

Quick recap of the old thread: using FBI/CDC stats, "trans" less likely to be murdered than gen pop.

Most of the reports are found in Rainbow Media and seem more concerned with "deadnaming" and "misgendering" than with the details of the crimes. They always include standard talking points highlighting "trans" violence and its "epidemic" nature.
This year, I'll use GLAAD's list which has 33 names. Note that the list memorializes "transgender people we know of whose lives have been taken due to anti-transgender violence" #TDOR #TDOR22

"Trans" less likely to be murdered than gen pop.
Much less likely than women.
And much, much less likely then female prostitutes.
