2018 US Trans Murder Stats- October

We are a few weeks away from the 2018 TDOR, and as many of you are aware of, I have been keeping track of the trans people we have lost to anti-trans violence since New Year's Day and we first heard about Christa Leigh Steele Knudslein's death. 

As of this writing, 22 people have died in the US due to anti-trans violence since January 1.   This list may get longer between now and New Year's Eve

But here are the stats, tracked from January 1 to now.
