Transgender Woman Found Beaten on Sidewalk Dies

But not for being a male.

So? I do not see how this enters into the equation. I will say, however, had I been a female I would not likely have been beaten for no reason. Because I am a male, I was. Male = fair game.

Female = YOU NEVER HIT A WOMAN!

And I fail to see any compelling statistics demonstrating that the minimal amount transgender individuals having been murdered according to that Amnesty infographic were victims due to being transgender.

I would imagine number would be very low.

So, I just looked over these survey questions, and read through the report.

Most of the people who experienced some kind of physical violence or sexual abuse were also likely to be involved in drugs and/or prostitution.

So that makes total sense. In fact, anyone - transgender or not - would be more likely to experience physical violence or sexual assault in those environments.

Notice how they didn't explain that in their tiny little infographic from this small pool of survey takers.

Give me a break.

I provided citations, backing up my claim.

You provided an infographic. The actual survey conclusions basically come out to - transgender people (typically of color) who do drugs and work as prostitutes are more likely to experience physical and sexual violence according to this small number of survey takers.

You have not provided any saying that trans individuals are not disproportionately victims of crime.

I most definitely demonstrated that .0002% of the transgender population has been murdered in a year (with no signs pointing to being transgender as the reason) which does not indicate disproportionate number of victims, even controlling for them being a minority of the population.

I'm saying that men are rarely victimized because they are men.

Let's look at this another way - people who aren't men are rarely victimized...because they AREN'T men.

Trans people are frequently victimized for being trans.

Doesn't seem that way.
