The killing of a Black transgender woman means this year is tied as the deadliest on record for transgender Americans, rights group says

The recent killing of Felycya Harris, a Black transgender woman, marks a tragic milestone: It means 2020 is now tied as the deadliest year for transgender and gender-nonconforming people -- and there are still three months left in the year.

That's according to the Human Rights Campaign, which has been tracking that data since 2013. Harris is at least the 31st transgender or gender-nonconforming person in the US to be killed this year, most of whom have been Black and Latinx transgender women, the organization said. 2017 saw 31 deaths.Harris, 33, was found shot dead at a park in Augusta, Georgia, on Saturday. Her death was ruled a homicide, and a suspect has yet to be identified.

What is a gender non-conforming person🤷🏾‍♀️❓ Asking for my whole village please.

Oddly enough Most are Black and killed by Black men. CNN Never mentions that.....🧐

🙏🏼😘

How does this information help me become more empathetic to the problem of child molestation?

We’re suppose to assume he was killed due to being trans?

thats less then the BLM protest but they are mostly peaceful I guess

Their is also tens of thousands of other Americans murdered,that’s the problem!

How many women have been killed in the US this year?

💔💔💔

31st no kidding out of how many thousands?

The USA .. what is an horriible Community. So sad😪😭

It is awesome event

This is horrifying

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾

So tragic!

Misinformation

Bless her family and friends, this is shameful.

'to be violently killed' As opposed to 'killed, but mostly peacefully'? You made THAT bed

And?......

*tied since they have been keeping numbers.

Wow 31? It’s a non fucking issue.

A mentally ill man pretending to be a woman.

These people need mental help.

thousands of men die every yr when their children are taken away from them by women using sole custody sexist laws - does that matter

31 people died while you read this.

Every one is a tragedy. But the USA does have almost 20000 homocides each year.

in more news the majority of the country doesn't give a shit about

So sad.

Nobody should be killed for being who they are! I just am thinking they aren’t being honest with themselves and to other men who happen to be straight.

31 all year? And this is news?

And just think, more three times that number of black men were killed in Chicago in July.

Absolutely ZERO proof that this person's gender disphoria was a motive in the homicide. Typical CNN BS.
