I don't believe that TV/TS's are being singled out more than gays. I truly believe that it has more to do with drugs and other things, than gender.

Hard to believe or not, just reading the list from the site I linked would likely show otherwise.

Samantha Brandau - Gang raped and stabbed
Angie Zapata - Beaten by her date with a fire extinguisher
Ruby Molina - found nude in a river
Kellie Telesford strangled and robbed by a date
Ali and 2 others in Iraq executed by the government for being Trans
on and on...

Recently, in Russia a man shot his pot-op fiance to death because of the apparent shame he would face by having a trans wife.

I know a number of trans women and all but one of us has been beaten and/or raped by men we were dating or in the cases of sex workers, clients. Given this sample, I'm not surprised at the findings. I wish I wasn't.

Thanks for shedding more light on this subject Bionca. It's sad that someone of a different persuasion (and one that I'm very fond of) has to face the risks.
