An incomplete list of Trans and gender nonconforming people murdered for existing in the 2020s

Here is the complete list of Trans people murdered in 2023, compiled by Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide (TvT).

2020 – Özge Bilir, aged 25, was a Dutch trans woman of Turkish descent living in Leidsche Rijn, Utrecht. She was stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend.

2020 – Alexa Luciano Ruiz was fatally shot in Puerto Rico on 24 February, after an incident in a local restroom. Ms. Luciano was killed while the assailant men laughed.

2020 – Michelle Michellyn Ramos Vargas, a 33-year-old trans woman, was found dead on an isolated road after being shot multiple times on 30 September in San Germán, Puerto Rico. She worked as a bartender and was studying to become a nurse.

2020 – Selena Reyes-Hernandez, 37, was fatally shot in Chicago, Illinois, on 31 May by a man she went home with, after telling him that she was transgender.

2020 – Brayla Stone, 17, was murdered in Arkansas in June 2020 by a man seeking to conceal his sexual relationship with her. The killer pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 50 years in prison.

2020 – Valera, a 46-year-old man, a janitor, was raped and killed on 10 February in Chelyabinsk, Russia, by his dorm roommates after they learned he was a transgender man.

2021 – Ebeng Mayor, a trans man from Batasan Hills, Philippines, was found raped, mutilated, and killed on 20 May 2021, after being missing for three days.

2022 – Briza Garces Florez, a 40-year-old Colombian trans sex worker from the Netherlands, was stabbed to death by her 32-year-old boyfriend.

2022 – Doski Azad, a 23-year-old Kurdish transgender woman, was murdered by her brother for being transgender.

2022 – Ariyanna Mitchell, a 17-year-old Black trans girl from Virginia, was shot and killed by 19-year-old Jimmy LeShawn Williams with an assault rifle, after he asked her if she was transgender, and she replied, "yes".

2022 - Cherry Bush, a homeless 48-year-old trans woman, was shot to death in Los Angeles.

2023 - Brianna Ghey was stabbed to death in Culcheth Linear Park on 11 February 2023.

2024 - Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old non-binary American student died one day after being assaulted in the girls' restroom.

(This is Nex)

Their friends and mother say that they experienced bullying for more than a year, because of their gender identity, before the assault. The bullying got progressively worse after a bill was passed in Oklahoma to prohibit the use of non-binary gender markers on birth certificates. Public school students are legally required to use restrooms only according to the gender on their birth certificate.

Nex was assaulted in the restroom by three girls and beaten unconscious. Sue Benedict, Nex's mother, was called to school and she found Nex with bruises on their face and scratches on the back of their head. She was informed that they had been suspended for two weeks. Sue took them to a nearby hospital and called the Oklahoma police department.

Nex told the officer how they had heard the girls making comments about their group and how they had poured water on the girls which then led to the altercation. They then said that had been attacked and had blacked out on the floor. The officer told Sue that this could be considered "mutual" and if they were to press charges, Nex would be open to those same charges. She declined at the time. Nex were later discharged and reportedly went to bed with a sore head.

(Nex with their cat)

The following day, on February 8, as they were preparing to travel with their mother for an appointment, Nex collapsed in the family's living room. Sue Benedict called 911, saying that Nex’s eyes had rolled back and they were struggling to breathe. Nex had stopped breathing by the time EMTs arrived. Nex was declared dead at the hospital that evening.

This is, by no means, a complete list. It does not even include a fraction of the murders of gender queer people in the 2020s, let alone the suicides, rapes, assaults, attempted murders, etc. It does not include the crimes against the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Thank you for reading the whole thing.

Yesterday was trans remembrance day, which is a day to remember trans people who were murdered. We must know how violent the world is for trans people, and must know and understand that they have a right to exist in our communities safely.

(Mention of Christianity/Catholicism)

We in the Catholic community must treat trans people with respect, dignity, and recognize the divine in their faces, made in the image of God, as we are called to do. We have a duty to protect those who are subject to violence and abuse, as what is done to them is done to Christ.

It is customary for Catholics to pray for the dead, typically for 9 days after their death (it’s called a novena). I’ve included a novena on this post so if you feel called to pray for 9 days you are welcome to. I will reblog this post for 9 days. You do not have to be Christian/Catholic to pray this prayer. I understand that not all people on this list if any at all were Christian or Catholic, but I do this sincerely with intentions of love and deepest respect for their lives that were lost.

At the bottom of this post I have included 2 prayers for safety if you feel inclined to pray it for your own safety as well.

The full (LONG) Novena that includes the Sorrowful Rosary (the suffering and death of Jesus): https://olg.cc/liturgy/devotions-liturgical-seasons/novena-for-one-who-has-died/

Litany of the dead (shorter than full novena): https://www.catholicdoors.com/prayers/litanies/p03468.htm

Simple prayer for the dead:

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

May the three protect you

Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Guard your door and keep each gate

May the three watch over you

Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Still your heart and calm all fear.

Light of God Prayer:

The light of God surrounds us,

The love of God enfolds us,

The power of God protects us,

The presence of God watches over us,

Wherever we are, God is,

And where God is, all is well.

St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John,

Like unto the prophet Jonas, as a type of Christ,

Who was guarded for three days and

Three nights in the belly of a whale,

Thus shall the Almighty God,

As a Father, guard and protect me from all evil.

Grant me Protection

Grant, O Lord, Thy protection

And in protection, strength

And in strength, understanding

And in understanding, knowledge

And in knowledge, the knowledge of justice

And in the knowledge of justice, the love of it

And in the love of it, the love of all existences

And in that love, the love of spirit and all creation.

In respect for those who were murdered from anti-transgender violence, please do not engage on this post with theological debates. Simply pray for their souls and for the safety of all trans people.

"Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people -- sometimes in the most brutal ways possible -- it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice." - Gwendolyn Ann Smith (Founder of TDOR)

2020 has seen at least 37 transgender and gender non-conforming people violently killed, more than any other year since HRC began tracking this data in 2013. HRC has now tracked more than 200 deaths since 2013.

Rates of violence against transgender people, particularly Black and Brown transgender women, have reached epidemic proportions. Since 2013, HRC and other advocates have tracked more than 180 cases of anti-transgender fatal violence across more than 33 states, spanning across 113 cities and towns in 33 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. This epidemic disproportionately impacts Black and Brown trans women of color, who comprise approximately 4 in 5 of all anti-transgender homicides.

Using someone’s correct pronouns reduces the suicide attempt rate by about half.

Advocacy starts by saying “I don’t know...”

Transgender Day of Remembrance - 2020

As of November- 2020 is the deadliest year on record for transgender people with 37 people murdered in America so far, and 350 worldwide.

We have been murdered, suffocated, decapitated, and burned alive.

Mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living.

Dustin Parker - 25 - he was a father, "his presence brightened all of our lives."

Neulisa Luciano Ruiz ("Alexa")

Yampi Méndez Arocho - he was only 19

Monika Diamond - 34

Lexi - 33 - “Lexi had a beautiful heart, she was very gifted.”

Johanna Metzger - self-taught musician

Penélope Díaz Ramírez - 31 - "did not deserve to die,"

Serena Angelique Velázquez Ramos - 32 - "was just beginning to explore the world,”

Nina Pop - 28 - "she was always happy"

Helle Jae O’Regan - 20 - she was proud of her trans identity “I was looking at the pictures I used to take before I transitioned versus now and it made me realize I’m way happier than I used to be. I love myself now."

Tony McDade - 38 - was killed by police in Tallahassee, Florida (two days after George Floyd)

Jayne Thompson - 33 - it took the media over a month to use her correct name and pronouns

Selena Reyes-Hernandez - 37 - "We must fight and fight hard to keep our Trans community protected and demand their attackers are brought to justice."

Dominique “Rem'mie” Fells - "a unique and beautiful soul who I am lucky to have known personally,"

Riah Milton - 25 - “She just wanted to be accepted for who she was.”

Brian “Egypt’ Powers - 43

Brayla Stone - she was only 17 - “A child, just beginning to live her life. A child of trans experience. A Black girl. A person who had hopes and dreams, plans and community.”

Merci Mack - 22 - funny, generous, and a beloved auntie

Shaki Peters - 32 - “The saddest part of this is that we have a protocol for when our people die. Most people can mourn the dead once they’ve lost someone, but we actually have to fight for our humanity.”

Aerrion Burnett - died two days before her 38th birthday. “Aerrion was a Barbie,” - “She was a goddess. Can you hear me? Fun! When I say goddess, she was everything. If you wanted to have a good day, you need to smile, Aerrion was the person you wanted by your side.”

Tracy “Mia” Green - 29 - “This latest act of violence against a member of our community is a somber reminder of the epidemic of violence against trans individuals. It is a crisis that cannot be allowed to persist any further. The countless painful losses experienced during this year alone—especially within our transgender communities of color— remind us that there is much work to be done in the pursuit of full equality, respect, and justice for us all.”

Michelle Michellyn Ramos Vargas - 33 - “Trans Puerto Ricans are being hunted. Enough of so much hate. Trans people are as human as everyone else and deserve to live in peace, equality, and freedom.”

“After responding to a 911 call from a Motel 6 in Memphis, Tennessee on October 25, police reportedly found the body of Angel Haynes, a 25-year-old Black trans woman. She had allegedly been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the ABC news affiliate WATN-TV.“

“Haynes’ death is one of four trans homicides in the past month. These included Sara Blackwood, a 39-year-old Indianapolis native, who was gunned down while walking home on National Coming Out Day, and 33-year-old interior decorator Felycya Harris, who was shot to death in Georgia.“

The day after Felycya died, Brooklyn Deshuna, another Black trans woman, was also murdered.

USA Today on July 9 2020 said there were 21 murders of trans people in the US alone, the majority being Black trans women, and that number has only continued to grow. Many were killed by police. Presumably, them.com is also limiting their numbers to the US.

A more exhaustive and recent list was uploaded by the Human Rights Campaign, and goes as follows:

Dustin Parker, a 25 year old trans man killed on new years day.

Neulisa Luciano Ruiz, a trans woman from Puerto Rico.

Yampi Méndez Arocho, a 19 year old trans man also from Puerto Rico.

Monika Diamond, 34 years old, a black trans woman.

Lexi, 33, a transgender woman, killed in New York state.

Johanna Metzger, a transgender woman, murdered in Maryland.

Serena Angelique Velázquez Ramos, a 32 year old transgender woman, killed in Puerto Rico on April 21, and Layla Pelaez Sánchez, 21, also a trans woman killed in Puerto Rico on April 21.

Penélope Díaz Ramírez, a transgender woman killed in Puerto Rico on April 13.

Nina Pop, a Black transgender woman murdered in Missouri.

Helle Jae O’Regan, 20, a transgender woman and activist killed in Texas.

Tony McDade, a Black transgender man murdered in Florida.

Dominique “Rem'mie” Fells, a Black transgender woman shot in Philadelphia.

Riah Milton, a 25-year-old Black transgender woman, was killed in Liberty Township, Ohio on June 9.

Jayne Thompson, a 33-year old white transgender woman killed in Colorado.

Selena Reyes-Hernandez, a 37-year old transgender woman, killed in Chicago.

Brian “Egypt’ Powers, a 43-year old Black transgender person.

Brayla Stone, a 17-year old Black transgender girl found dead in Arkansas.

Merci Mack, a 22-year old Black transgender woman killed in Texas.

Shaki Peters, a 32-year old Black transgender woman, killed in Amite CIty, Louisiana, on July 1.

Bree Black, a 27-year-old Black transgender woman killed in Florida.

Summer Taylor, a white non-binary person killed in Seattle, Washington while protesting.

Marilyn Cazares a transgender Latina killed in Brawley, California.

Dior H Ova, who some reports identify as Tiffany Harris, a Black transgender woman, was killed in the Bronx, New York.

Queasha D Hardy, a 22-year old Black transgender woman killed in Louisiana.

Aja Raquell Rhone-Spears, who sometimes used the name Rocky Rhone, a Black transgender woman, murdered in Oregon.

Kee Sam, a Black transgender woman killed in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Aerrion Burnett, a Black transgender woman, was killed in Independence, Missouri, on September 19.

Mia Green, a 29-year old Black transgender woman.

Michelle Michellyn Ramos Vargas, a transgender woman from Puerto Rico in her mid-30s.

Felycya Harris, a 33-year old transgender woman, was killed in Augusta, Georgia in October.

Brooklyn Deshuna, 20, a Black transgender woman.

Sara Blackwood, a white transgender woman, killed on National Coming Out Day.

Angel Unique, a 25-year old Black transgender woman, was killed in Memphis, Tennessee, on October 25.

We recommend you check out the full list. Please stay safe out there.
