"US House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi has addressed a spike in the murder of transgender people.

The senior Democratic politician, who served as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives before her party lost the majority, delivered a stark warning about the number of trans women who have died in recent times."

Why is there always resistance to include trans people in any sort of equality legislation?
