"Police say the figure is due to more transphobic crimes being reported.

There has been a 25% increase in hate crimes against transgender people, according to figures released by the Met Police. "

I hope it is just that more crimes are being reported and not that media attention has reminded people that we exist :/

I noticed at TDOR something unusual - names from Canada, UK, EU, etc...It seemed like last year it was mostly names from Brazil (#1 in Murders of Transwomen) and some US. This year, there were less names, but they seemed to be coming from places you wouldn't expect.
