The daily White House press briefings should n’t become a habit unless you want to become much stupider, but occasionally they can provide some inexpensive entertainment. For instance, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made the decision to give” Transgender Day of Remembrance” beautiful podium time on Monday.
According to GLAAD, an LGBTQ+ activist group, the Transgender Day of Remembrance is intended to honor” transgend people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transGender crime.” ( They seem to enjoy their acronyms, TDOR ) was founded in 1999 by a transgender activist in honor of Rita Hester, an unexplained trans woman. The fact that an unexplained crime event served as the impetus for TDOR struck me as a little odd. There is no proof that Hester was the victim of an”anti-trans” murder. Can it be done? Yes, but we’re not really positive. A red flag is quickly raised by the important disparity between the inspiration for TDOR—an unsolved murder of a transgender woman with no discernible motive—and its stated goal—to commemorate transgender people who have been killed because of their gender.
There are numerous different topics that we will cover shortly. But first, let’s hear what Karine Jean-Pierre had to say about TDOR from the pulpit of the lecture room:
On Transgender Day of Remembrance, which is now, we are saddened by the death of 26 trans women in the United States this month. We observe that these patients are overwhelmingly black women and women of color every time. No one should have to deal with murder, live in fear, or endure discrimination because of who they are.
Transgender individuals “experience disproportionately high rates of crime and rape,” according to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who made a similar claim on Monday.
As a result, the Biden administration quickly adopts the premise that all 26 of these trans people were murdered due to their identities, which is consistent with what pro-LGBT companies have said about TDOR. The LGBTQ+ campaigning community claims that these 26 fatalities are proof of an “epidemic” of “anti-trans murder” or even a “genocide.”
Kelly Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, told NBC News that the outbreaks of violence against transgender and gender-nonconforming people is a federal horror and an embarrassment. ” Every life lost is the result of a community that denigrates and undercuts anyone who dares to question the identity gap.”
Let’s start with the obvious: 26 incidents are not particularly unusual in terms of statistics. They bring up the data of crime against transgender people, and when you look at the numbers, it’s, of, forty people,” as my colleague Terry Schilling recently told Politico. According to a Williams Institute research from the UCLA School of Law, there are about 1.6 million transgender people in the US. The trans crime rate in America would be roughly 1.6 per 100,000 people if all 26 of the deaths that have occurred so far this year were murders. For the entire American population in 2022, there were 6.3 murders per 100,000 people.
Therefore, some fundamental arithmetic has already disproved the notion that racist Americans are looking for and killing transgender people. But let’s go a stage further with this. How many of these people were actually killed because they identified as trans? In several of those incidents, the authorities explicitly stated that they did not include information that the victims were targeted because of their identity, and in a few cases the charges clearly suggest robberies gone bad. I looked through all of the cases and discovered that fifteen of them had no formally stated motive or were still unsolved. Six domestic assault situations and two car accidents were reported in addition to those fifteen. Devonnie J’Rae Johnson and Banko Brown, two other trans people who were killed, were also shot by surveillance personnel after violent scuffles. Brown is accused of threatening to stab a security guard, while Johnson is alleged to have attacked the protection officer with fire extinguishers and screwdriver. Finally, a non-binary person by the name of Tortuguita was killed by police after reportedly shooting at police officers while they were protesting in Atlanta’s” officer town.”
If you’re keeping track, there have n’t been any confirmed cases of transgender people being targeted for murder this year. Moreover, three of the cases Karine Jean-Pierre honored at the White House podium involve people who were threatening people.
Since 2020, there have only been eleven transgender people killed worldwide, according to Wikipedia. In the US mainland, only four of these occurred. Four individuals in four times. Relatively speaking, a Christian elementary school earlier this year saw the deaths of six trans mass shooters.
What can we infer from this break? The social left methods stunning claims with greater carelessness, which is eventually symbolized by Transgender Day of Remembrance. There will be 26 deaths in 2023, none of which are clearly anti-trans and some that have nothing to do with gender identification, but we still have an “epidemic” and a “genocide.” Despite the fact that there is no proof that “gender-affirming care” alleviates mental health issues, babies with gender dysphoria may very well commit suicide if they are not given it. In 2022, more black men were killed by lightning than by armed police, but there is a “police cruelty” issue in our nation.
Constantly, the remaining manipulates data and/or fraudulently presents it to physically bullying people into accepting their unsubstantiated claims about British society and, consequently, their solutions to these made-up problems. TDOR should serve as a reminder to all of us of the perfect callousness of these campaigners as they seek power. It’s an evil and sneaky way to secure policy victories.
