"In this survey study of adults in California, results showed that TGD individuals, especially transgender men, are at higher risk of experiencing all forms of violence relative to cisgender women. Results highlight the need for gender-affirming violence prevention and intervention services as well as policies that protect TGD individuals from discriminatory violence."

"Rates of IPV were high, with variability by IPV subtype: 42.0% endorsed psychological IPV, 39.9% endorsed physical IPV, 30.4% endorsed trans-related IPV, 18.0% endorsed stalking, and 21.5% endorsed forced sex by an intimate partner. We observed disparities in IPV subtypes by race/ethnicity, gender identity, and experiences of social marginalization. Results highlight the need for targeted, trans-inclusive IPV screening practices and interventions. Future studies should examine the syndemic effects of IPV, social marginalization, and health outcomes related to HIV, substance use, and mental health in trans populations."

Another case of a “mysterious” homicide in the LGBT Community involving police officers. This happened in 2002 and the City of Philadelphia still refuses to release the information regarding this case. The community needs to be more aware of how the transgender community is still being treated in 2015...

No I'm not asking you specifically for a source (unless you happen to have one :P) it's just that I've been seeing this 1 in 12 statistic so much lately but never where it comes from. It's starting to sound like that 1 in 4 women will be raped one, which is just untrue and people only bring it up for shock value and scaremongering.
Just from googleing "murder statistics for transgender" I didn't see a site that looked reliable. If anyone happens to have a good site that follows or can provide anon with a reliable source about these murder statistics? I personally don't believe the 1 in 4 women will be raped thing. That seems like a gross overstatement. That would be pretty damn scary for 1 in every 4 women to be raped and for 1 in every 12 transgender people to be murdered. It's like these people want to make women and transgender people to be scared to leave their homes.
