A new report reveals that 53 transgender people were killed while 32 were lost to suicide across the US in the last year, which saw a marked increase in anti-trans legislation and rhetoric.
Notably, while these numbers from the National Center for Transgender Equality’s (NCTE) annual remembrance report have grown since last year, some experts say that the real number of lives lost is probably higher due to the difficulties in accurate reporting and data within the trans community.
