Dana Martin was found in a roadside ditch. Chynal Lindsey was discovered in a reservoir. Bee Love Slater was found burned in a vehicle, and Bailey Reeves was shot after she left a party. They were all transgender. They were all women. They were all black. (Snip) Another issue that contributes to underreporting is that some trans people are misgendered at the time of their death.
Law enforcement, witnesses, family members and even friends might misidentify a trans victim with the gender they were assigned at birth, rather than the gender identity the person lived by.

Correction to the article. They were all men, and there is no confusion about their gender. CNN would like us to believe that it was homophobic Bible thumping conservatives who were responsible. That is a totally false narrative, but of course CNN is happy to run with it.

I'm guessing that these were men undergoing transformation who underwrite the cost of doing so by prostitution, whose tricks weren't pleased when they discovered the deception. The enabling language of CNN is telling of their agenda. These were NOT women!!!

We can be reasonably certain they were black, and equally certain that they were all men. Physical characteristics don't lie. The only people "misgendering" anyone are the victims themselves and propaganda outlets such as CNN, who tell us to stop believing our lying eyes.

They were all transgender. They were all women. They were all black.
Translation: They were all men. Gaslighting 'progressives' attempt to coerce our beliefs by getting us to use their language. No more of that game.

The premise of this article is pure crap. These people are being killed due to their lifestyle choices, not the equipment between their legs.
I’m so sick of these heart-rending articles about the troubles of of confused people. They really need some good hard therapy about coping with what is, not what they wish is was.
Applied hard and swift.

Now CNN, tell us how many 'transgendered' commit suicide. You can add my 23yr. old grandson to the numbers if you decide to keep track. He took his own life two years ago next month after letting a butcher mutilate him. And notice, I refer to him as grandson, because he was born a male and no amount of cutting off or sewing back on of different body parts made him female.

Growing up in New Orleans in the 60’s and 70’s when my dad figured I would find my way into the French Quarter he warned me that all that glitters is not gold. It was good advice that i passed along to my sons.

A poorly written and very misleading article that intentionally omits the actual cause of these murders.
The victims are street hookers who go out at night alone to meet with the types of criminal lowlifes who frequently liason with street hookers. Oftentimes, their customers are violence-prone sociopaths with criminal records. The writer of the article intentionally omits the fact that the perpetrators are usually black. By omitting this information the writer is able to mislead the reader into a false narrative of these crimes being committed by racist "transphobic" whites. Ironically, the same navel-gazing liberals who are lamenting the murders of trandgender black prostitutes by violent criminal blacks are the same ones who are whining about "mass incarceration" and demanding leniency for black criminals. Since they are too stupid to recognize simple linear cause-and-effect relationships it will never occur to them that releasing more black criminals into the public will result in increasing deaths of black transgender street hookers.

The people who died are no longer confused about their sex. That's for sure. Good grief, CNN. Really?

In 2018, there were about 15,500 murders in the U.S. The 22 alleged this year amount to .14% of that total. Any idea what the % of folks claiming trans-gender is? Estimated at, depending on the source, 1.2 to 6.8%. Don't see an epidemic here.
But it's CNN. And it's got to be Trump's fault.

FTA: "When society continually dehumanizes and diminishes the dignity and identities of transgender people, when we have politicians undermining the lives and rights of transgender people, it sends a dangerous signal to those who would discriminate [against] or even attack the transgender community," Sarah McBride, national press secretary at the Human Rights Campaign, told CNN.
I don't hear anybody dehumanizing transgender people. I do hear a great deal of people saying that it happens thus creating the atmosphere as if it were true. I do hear people treating transgenders like everybody else which at times is considered unacceptable. Telling anybody with a penis to stay out of the bathroom with my granddaughter is not dehumanizing them.
I hear one group of people constantly denigrated, being associated with the most vile people to ever walk the earth. If my speaking out against Transgenders following my granddaughter into the bathroom incites violence against them then imagine how many of the murders of regular people is because we are deplorable and irredeemable?

I reject the premise that anyone is "assigned" a sex at birth. People are "observed to be" a sex at birth (or before).

Misgendered? WTF, they were men, probably pretending to be female prostitutes and got a John expecting something different that what they got.

Oh, well. Insane people have bad outcomes. Is that surprising?
Meanwhile, 600,000+ died from cancer each year, over 40,000 killed in car accidents, and about 20 small children drown in 5 gallon buckets.
Another statistical blip, sorry I'm not going to get worked up at all.

He, she, it. Not that difficult. So you are pretending to be a "woman", walking the streets (a very dangerous occupation), dealing with drunks, druggies and other nefarious persons. And some dude thinks he will be serviced by a real woman and surprise! Also, homosexuality and other sexual identify problems are not received very well in the black community. Did you deserve to die, no. But am I surprised this happened, no. Now let's tackle the reasons so many blacks shoot other blacks over the smallest perceived slight.

She-male hookers....prostitution is a dangerous way to make a living at best and this type probably draw more real weirdos than the straight streetwalkers.

Gender is a linguistic term. It doesn't have anything to do with physiology or behavior.

Sorry to hear that, #10. I don't think that these cutting and pasting docs help anyone. They need mental help to come to terms with who they immutably were born to be and are.
IMO, it is a serious violation of the Hippocratic Oath for docs to do this to people.

These are very dysfunctional people and often tend to frequent areas where they're bound to encounter trouble. The interesting thing to evaluate is the murder rate over many years/decades.
#10, so sorry for the pain you and family must endure.

NOTE: I went out of my way to find article on another website to not give CNN the traffic "clicks". What is interesting is that the article seems to say that all murders of a "trans" person are black. Where are the typical race-bating "Reverends" having marches? Must not have any money tied to these lost souls.
It's going to be the next battle that coroners will be required to state "gender" on death certificate...IF WE DON'T STOP THIS NONSENSE.
