It saddens me.

strange that in not one of these cases has it been confirmed that they had been killed BECAUSE they were transgender.

loads of people get shot stabbed and otherwise killed.

does this mean that everyone else who has been killed were killed because they were NOT transgender?

Can you rule it out, that it was not down to prejudice?

With evidence, as can any case

Though at present I cannot prove without reading each case or the fact all evidence may not have turned up as of yet

Now can you rule out prejudice

one was shot by police called by the mother.  police arrived to find person covered in blood and holding a knife which he refused to put down and police shot him.

another one stabbed a neighbour and cut police and was shot dead by them

i dont suppose for a moment the trans issue came into it

at least two are not prejudice and the others dont say.

it's a very misleading article which implies they were killed solely for being transgender which is clearly not the case so i would be very wary of believing that the rest of them were either
