LGBTQ Nation reports that trans people are being murdered AND misgendered in Tennessee

Obviously, the tweet is trying to suggest that legislation somehow is leading to the murders of trans people in Tennessee but from the report, it’s pretty clear this was a fatal carjacking.

It was a carjacking.

So the laws your purporting to have had an impact in this person’s death had nothing to do with the death, “random carjacking”.

You don't know the name, the date or the motive. It probably helps to have actual facts when reporting a story.

Hyperbole as usual.

This seems to be in no way a targeted crime, so what does it have to do with the laws changing?

Murder is illegal in all states.

How are these things related?

Are you really saying that being murdered and misgendered as both equally bad?

— Z. D. Burke (@ZDavidBurke) November 28, 2021

I can't believe we are equating being misgendered with MURDER

Are you seriously comparing being murdered to being misgendered? pic.twitter.com/vtdFIsoded

Trans people are murdered at a rate lower than any demographic, including white women. They are safer than essentially anyone else. Black males are more than 10 times more likely to be murdered.

All of the statistics say youre full of shit.

The article then goes on to talk about signage for public restrooms and other legislation in Tennessee’s “Slate of Hate.”

The reason the police "misgendered" her is because police are not here to give you the feelz.. they deal in facts. The victim was male, so they reported it thus.. sorry.
