In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the moneychangers, where greed, laziness, and envy were assumed to move all men's acts, even the terrible became banal.

This is almost certainly an undercount. Inquests into deaths can often take years. Even obvious suicides are often ruled as accidents due to cultural and religious norms. Further, many families may not be supportive and their trans identity may not have been known outside of friends.
The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth.

She's 8 MONTHS PREGNANT & was kidnapped by ICE...or someone!
When ANYONE can mask up, dress as ICE & rent a black SUV, what's to stop them from just kidnapping people?
In California, we passed a law against masks & it's not being followed.
