Tori Cooper, director of community engagement for the Transgender Justice Initiative, stated, 'Over half of the victims reported were Black trans women, a disturbing reality that reflects the trend of violence that continues to plague our community which disproportionately faces racism, misogynoir, sexism, transphobia and a myriad of other societal issues.'
Kelley Robinson, president of HRC, emphasized, 'In the [past] year, we've seen harmful legislation and dangerous rhetoric create unsafe spaces for those who exist outside the gender binary, and the tone set by these bills has emboldened hate on a terrifying scale.'
