There is rarely even an acknowledgement of the race or occupation of the people who were killed, thus these parts of their identities are erased, and the trends that I am drawing attention to are made invisible. We may wonder why the vast majority of people killed due to "anti-transgender violence" come from certain marginalized groups.  Certainly racism and classism are important factors here, but there is at least one other factor at play.
