People keep saying this, but what is expected when a minute fraction of the population has such a high rate of being murdered? What is expected when without making any fuss, legislators are constantly trying to legislate trans people out of existence, refusing healthcare, increasing the already disproportionate suicide rate, forcing them to do things that puts them in situations where the chance of being murdered is much higher.
These sentiments come from such a place of privilege, "I don't have this problem, why are you getting on stage to shout about this, you should expect to be discriminated against and murdered" if you don't see anything wrong with that, you should reevaluate your morals.
