Insider spent 18 months investigating 175 murders of transgender people. Here’s what we found.

Killings of transgender people doubled between 2019 and 2021, as anti-trans legislation and rhetoric accelerated.
Most of the killers were young men in their teens and twenties, many of whom were intimate with their victims.
At least 39 transgender people were killed in acts of intimate violence, by spouses, partners, boyfriends, housemates, dates, or clients.
Only 28 killings out of 175 cases Insider examined resulted in murder convictions; only one resulted in a hate crimes conviction.
Nearly two-thirds of victims were misgendered or misnamed by law enforcement.
