Argument 1: "Trans people are being mass killed in the US"

Reality: According to the HRC 32 trans ppl were killed in 2022. William Institute estimates there to be 1.6 million trans ppl. That's only a murder rate of 2.

This is assuming a drop in crime for that year. That's a pretty shitty genocide if you ask me.
