text: "no matter what is put in front of you regarding crimes committed against trans people you will attempt to minimize it away"
  
  I'm not trying to minimize anything -- I'm trying to promote accuracy.
  
  "The 21 trans people murdered in 2015 listed in the HRC report were recorded as single or multiple bias murders by the FBI."
  
  Your source? The HRC report makes it clear that they don't know the motive in most of these cases, and complains that too few cases are reported as "bias-motivated" crime.
  
  "As far as the man killed in Vermont just a few days ago authorities have yet to determine if his transgender status was a factor. They haven’t expressly said anything except that they were still investigating."
  
  Actually, as the article I posted said:
  
  "Police initially investigated whether the murder was related to Beede's gender identity. However, they now say they don't believe it was a motive and that the killing stemmed from a dispute."
