‘Trans genocide’ accusations not backed by data, political scientist says

A political scientist disputed claims that transgender people are victimized by violence at disproportionate rates, calling this an “insanely and verifiably wrong conspiracy theory.”

Dr. Wilfred Reilly, an Assistant Professor of Political Sciences at Kentucky State University, called out the White House for promoting this belief during a recent press conference on the “Transgender Day of Remembrance.”

“Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we grieve the 26 transgender Americans who were killed this year. Year after year, we see that these victims are disproportionately Black women and women of color,” Jean-Pierre remarked. Her statistics come from the LGBTQ rights organization, the Human Rights Campaign, which purports in there annual report, there’s an “epidemic of violence” against transgender and gender non-conforming individuals in the United States.

“The only catch is that no such systemic violence exists,” Reilly wrote in the National Review, Tuesday.
