Boston Globe Analysis Points to Decline in Reported Violent Crimes Against Transgender Individuals
Multiple data sources document declining reported violent deaths targeting transgender people since 2021, though advocacy groups dispute the conclusions drawn from incomplete records.
- The Boston Globe published David Mastio’s opinion piece arguing that recorded violence against transgender people declined under President Donald Trump.
- Mastio cited Human Rights Campaign figures showing deaths fell from 47 in 2021 to 27 the following year, while another figure declined from 53 in 2023 to 27 in 2025.
- A Manhattan Institute report cited by Mastio asserted that transgender people had a lower murder rate than the population overall.
- Advocates for Trans Equality said that a decline in one data point does not show transgender people are safer and cited more than 700 anti-trans bills introduced that year.
