    Not to be flippant, but is that all? I honestly expected that number to be higher.

well, it's complicated. people are misgendered when they are reported dead, for example, and some people disappear and are never found. Trans women (especially trans women of colour) are disproportionally likely to go into sex work, which can be a dangerous line of work. That said, murders in the US aren't as bad as somewhere like Brazil, which had at least 48 trans women murdered in january alone.
