Nuance Bro #transphobia youtube.com

The issue that I wanted to focus on is this narrative that trans people are dying. So I don't know if you guys have heard about this, but there's this big issue in the trans community or the LGBT community at large about transgenders being murdered. So when they talk about trans people are dying, do something, they are saying that trans people are being murdered in the streets and that this is a huge problem and that politicians need to do something. Now this issue always perplexed me because I always heard people talking about transgender murders but I never heard anybody use the stats. So, what are the stats behind transgender murders? Now, a great resource that I found is from the leftist publication Mic.... if we scroll down, we can see the number of documented trans homicides per year. So how many is it? We can see it. In the year 2010, there was a total of 9 homicides. Now I don't know about you, but 9 homicides in a year in a country of 330 million people, I don't know if I would consider that an epidemic. But the argument being made is that it is rising. As you can see here, we go from 9 homicides in 2010 to a peak of 24 homicides in 2015, and the most recent number they have is 2016 of 23 homicides. Now to be fair, 23 homicides might seem low, but we have to look at things per capita...….

(Nuance Bro goes on to claim that statistics show that there is no epidemic of trans people murdered specifically for being trans)
