Trans people are much more likely to be murdered than cis people.

They're also much more likely to commit suicide.

Being armed to mitigate that risk is a not an unreasonable decision.

If it does mitigate that risk. It also increases the risk of suicide, though, which is already much higher than average for trans people.
