The murders have been solved? All of these women have been murdered by black men?
Half of all homicides in America are committed by black people. The vast majority of murders are intraracial, so most of the killers of these black transwomen are almost certainly black (probably men).
I'm not certain where you got that figure but I'm pretty certain that you did not also take into consideration the limitations of the kinds of cases that go into compiling these stats.
As for your 'deduction' that the transwomen were killed by black men? Not based on actual facts but speculation.
Now, it seems to me that, if more than half the transwomen being killed are black transwomen, and I have no good reason to believe that black transwomen make up any more than about 12% of the transwoman population, then black America has a violent problem of transphobia expressed towards transwomen.
Wouldn't you agree? Isn't it a feminist position to address the perpetrators of the crime? Black men.
Are the deaths of transsexuals only important to transsexuals? Are not the deaths of everyone of importance to society?
It is it just that you dontcarra out these peoples deaths because they are trans? Or is it because they are black?
How do you get to there from anything I've said?
Upon a closer reading, I realize that your issue with transwomen pales in comparison with your issues with black men.
