LGBTQ advocates say they feel"horrified" after two Black trans women were killed this week, putting this year on track to surpass 2017's record.LONDON, July 30 - Violent deaths of transgender people in the United States are on track to reach a record high this year after two Black trans women were killed in the last week, with advocates blaming a rise in anti-trans rhetoric.
“As a Black trans woman, I feel absolutely horrified, I feel scared, I feel almost targeted - and I use that word specifically,” said Tori Cooper, a director with HRC’s transgender justice program. Violence against Black trans women, who face discrimination for both their race and gender identity, became the focus of LGBT+ Pride marches in the United States and Britain last month, under the banner Black Trans Lives Matter.
