Iris SantosThe murders of transgender women of color are alarmingly high once again this year. Frequently, transgender murders go unsolved. Here are eight transwomen of color who's murders remain unsolved. Courtney Eshay Key, Tyianna Alexander, Bianca “Muffin” Bankz, Keeva Scatter, Iris Santos, Nedra Sequence Morris, Duval Princess, Kitty Moore were all murdered by gun violence between 2020 and 2022.

According to the HRC Foundation’s “Dismantling a Culture of Violence” report anti-transgender stigma, denial of opportunity and increased risk factors compound to create a culture of violence. One of the things that shocked me in putting this piece together is how many of these victims are misgendered in local police statements and media reports.

Aside from being deeply disrespectful, on. a practical level misidentification can delay investigation efforts. I know it can sometimes seems impossible to know how to show support particularly when violence is involved. While there are concrete steps to take, see below, I think one of the very first steps is to be aware of the reality on the ground.

I will return to these murders and other murders of transgender and non-gender conforming people. My love and condolences go out to the families and loved ones of the people in this story and all the human beings who's only crime is living the truth of their lives.
