Fucking what
Probably referring to right wing assholes.
Even if it is referring to right-wing assholes, the US is one of the safer places in the world for LGBT folk. That's not high praise of the US so much as damnation for most of the rest of the world, but either way, one is definitely not in "FAR more danger" inside the USA than "almost anywhere else".
Depends where you are in the United States… as well as your race and gender. Trans Day of Remembrance is a thing for a reason.
Just a couple posts down from this one in my feed: trans teen killed by her friend
Trans Day of Remembrance is a thing for a reason.
Because the US at least has to appear to care about its problems, to some degree, not because the US is some exceptional murder-locale for trans folk.
Trans Day of Remembrance wasn’t invented by the US, it was invented by Black trans women. Black trans women in particular are murdered at alarming rates. Please stop talking about this, you clearly have never been involved with trans activism or know anything about TDoR if this is what you believe.
Trans Day of Remembrance wasn’t invented by the US, it was invented by Black trans women.
American Black trans women, in the US, where it was celebrated almost exclusively for a decade. Because society here in the US has to at least pretend to care about trans problems, unlike, say, Russia, or China.
Transgender Day of Remembrance was founded in 1999 by a small group, including Gwendolyn Ann Smith,[4] Nancy Nangeroni, and Jahaira DeAlto,[5] to memorialize the murders of Black transgender women Rita Hester in Allston, Massachusetts,[6] and Chanelle Pickett in Watertown, Massachusetts.[7][8] After Hester's death in 1998, Smith was surprised to realize that none of her friends remembered Pickett or her murder three years prior, saying "It really surprised me that it had already, in a short period of time, been forgotten, and here we were with another murder at the same site.”[8][9] The first TDoR took place in November 1999 in Boston and San Francisco, as both Hester and Pickett's deaths occurred in November.
But we all know that truth or the health of trans folk comes second to "US GREAT SATAN" in your worldview.
