Here Are Recent Incidents of Anti-Trans Violence Across the US

September 22, 2024 by Sue

There seems to be a new trend in reporting to report anti-trans attacks as ‘anti-LGBTQ’ without further detail on the victim. Further details often reveal the victim was either trans or perceived to be trans. This is a disturbingly misleading trend in media as well as the seemingly increase in anti-trans violence overall.

April 9, 2024 — A transgender man was being assaulted at a Benson bar in Omaha, Nebraska.

May 30, 2024 — A transgender student is speaking out along with their family after allegedly being assaulted while using the bathroom in their Minnetonka, Minnesota, high school.

July 17, 2024 — a 31-year-old man was approached by an unidentified suspect who allegedly voiced anti-LGBTQ remarks and then hit the victim, according to police. Rockaway Parkway-Canarsie station in Brooklyn
