It's a growing concern for those of us who watch this. @ErinInTheMorn specifically does a great job watching this. What we are looking at is when this will cross from the social violence into the physical violence on a large scale.

This is not to discount the amount of physical violence that black and brown trans women experience on a constant basis.

This is to ask when does it become to much? When do we get to see people step up and protect us rather than sit and wait.

Ta-Nehisi Coates quote

"But all our phrasing—race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy—serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that it dislodges brains, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth. You must never look away from this. You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.”

That quote was about red lining and racism and was shared in the Idea Channel subreddit.

It does however show that even social violence inflicts a massive physical toll.

Every year for the past 6 years we have seen the number of trans people who have been murdered increase. This increase is due to people inflicting social violence on a minority by dehumanizing us.

Just as what is and has been done to Black and brown folks in the US for centuries.

This is a problem we cannot ignore anymore.
