"Paulo, Brazil may arguably be the most deadly known place on earth for transgender people. The key to this sentence is "Known". Many areas on earth have similar conditions, maybe even worst. But because of other factors like laws which enforce localized and nationalized criminalization of transsexuality, and religious oppression little is known about them."

The danger in Brazil does not come from being trans, it comes from being poor and black.  Crime in the favelas is an equal opportunity employer.  And if have ever walked around in one,you will understand what I mean.
