    29 Trans Americans Have Been Killed in 2021 — Most on Record

    29 Trans Americans Have Been Killed in 2021 — Most on Record

    Here are the transgender people violently killed so far in 2021

    2020 was historically deadly for the transgender community. A record 45 trans people were violently killed last year, eclipsing the previous high of 31 in 2017. As usual, transgender women of color were disproportionately impacted by the violence. The true number of victims will never be known, as many go unreported or are misgendered in death.

    Sadly, 2021 is proving even more deadly with the recent announced killings of Thomas Hardin and Haven A Bailey. Hardin, 35, a Black transgender woman, was shot and killed in South Carolina on May 2 by a man suspected of multiple other killings. Haven A Bailey, 25, a transgender man, was shot and killed by police in Illinois in the early morning hours of May 24 when he allegedly pointed a pellet gun at officers despite repeated requests to disarm. It was also reported earlier that Oliver "Ollie" Taylor, 17, a transgender boy, was shot on May 12 in Oregon by his alleged kidnapper who also shot and seriously wounded his friend who tried to save him; Taylor died a week later on May 19.

    Listed below are the 29 known violent killings of transgender people so far this year, making 2021 on pace to be the deadliest ever for the transgender community.
