(David Taffet/Dallas Voice) 22 victims will be remembered in annual Transgender Remembrance Day events DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writer taffet@dallasvoice.com On Transgender Day of Remembrance, 22 names will be added to a growing list of victims of deadly anti-trans violence in the U.S.
Around the world, 320 trans people have been murdered so far this year. Those numbers, while horrifying, don’t set a record in a year that has seen a dramatic increase in hate crimes in all categories.
In 2022, 32 trans people were killed in the U.S. and 327 around the world. The statistical year runs from October through September.
Deaths that occur this month will be counted in 2024. Since statistics have been gathered, 4,600 trans and gender non-conforming people have been murdered.
