Sure, it's fear. Though like a lot of fears it seems to be misplaced. If you read actual reports of trans related violence victims the vast majority of them appear to be domestic violence, or random. ( Stabbing in a fight at a party, killed in street robbery etc) In various lists I don't see a single report alleging any random violent trans related hate crime in the US last year. Certainly not any in Maine....

Your various lists are weird to exclude the shooting at Club Q.

That one gets left out as it was a nonbinary person who used they them pronouns so it's really hard to argue as a hate crime.

The nonbinary person who started using they/them pronouns about five minutes before they were about to be charged with a hate crime? Very easy to argue actually.
