Met 24 transgender moorden is 2016 het dodelijkste jaar ooit voor transmensen in de VS.

Met nog 6 weken te gaan is het trieste record van 2015 waarbij 21 transmensen de dood vonden gebroken.
Het gaat in alle gevallen om transvrouwen met een donkere huidskleur volgens de GLAAD inventarisatie.
Het aantal dodelijke slachtoffers is waarschijnlijk hoger omdat in de politie rapporten, media en informatie van familie niet altijd duidelijk is of het om transgender mensen gaat.
