    Chicago mayor declares ‘trans femicide state of emergency’ — despite 1
    trans woman killing this year"

    "Woke Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declared he was reupping the city’s
    “Trans Femicide State of Emergency” to highlight violence against
    transgender women — despite just one reported killing of a trans person
    this year, compared with nearly 200 other murders across the city.

    His social media posting announcing the initiative drew widespread
    mockery as critics pointed out his bizarre focus on a small population as
    the city is plagued by dozens of weekly shootings primarily involving Chicagoans of color.

    Johnson’s declaration suggests an ongoing epidemic of trans murders.
    There have been 14 transgender people were killed in Chicago between 2016
    and 2024, according to the Chicago Public Media-owned Chicago Sun-Times.

    So far this year, Chicago has recorded 198 homicides — the vast majority
    of whom are men.

    “For too many transgender Chicagoans, the sense of belonging they deserve
    in their city has been denied by exclusion and barriers to opportunity in spaces that should feel safe and welcoming,” Johnson wrote on X Sunday.

    “Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration
    has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans. This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived
    experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more
    connected city.”

    On the weekend of his posting, 39 people were shot, six of them fatally, including an incident where an SUV pulled up to a crowd and opened fire, wounding 12 people ranging in age from 17-47.

    I didn't think it was possible to elect a worse mayor than the previous Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

    *Amazing* idiocy.

    Human Rights Campaign reported that 42% of the 32 transgender murder
    victims nationwide in 2024 were killed by a “romantic/sexual partner,
    friend or family member."

    58% of them where black. So, largely victims of the ignorant,
    drug-ridden, violent culture that besets black Americans (54% of
    murder victims in the US are black).

    To that, factor-in their weird lifestyle, and it should be no surprise
    that "trans" people are murdered at a higher rate than average.
