opportunities for transgenders in America, it has also brought an immense
amount of hate, violence, and death along with it. This year has been the
deadliest recorded year for transgenders in America. According to the Human

violent means. (Violence Against the Transgender Community in 2017) Transgender
women of color are targeted the most and have the greatest risk of becoming
victims of hate crimes.
