The White House on Monday honored Transgender Day of Remembrance and paid tribute to the 26 transgender Americans who were killed this year. This gives the impression that transgender people are at a higher risk of being victims of homicide. They’re not. If we really wanted to honor these people, we would we talk about the issues that actually put them at risk such as sexual deviance, the harmful effect of untested pharmaceuticals, poverty and pre-existing conditions. Or are we better served to blame other people for how they perceive transgender individuals?
