    44 Trans Americans Violently Killed in 2020, the Deadliest Year Ever

    These are the transgender persons killed so far in 2020

    As we say goodbye to 2020, we also remember the reported 44 transgender people killed in the United States, the deadliest year ever. This surpasses the previous high of 31 known violent killings in 2017. Much like in previous years, transgender women of color are disproportionately impacted.

    Listed below are the transgender lives that were taken in 2020. It is important to note that these are only the reported killings -- trans murders have a history of being misreported or unreported so the true numbers are likely higher.
