Where should a trans US citizen with no other legal residency go?

Their ability to live safely is coupled fully to their ability to live safely in the us. Immigration was one, but not the only, example GP mentioned.

Has there been any serious discussion around kicking trans people out of America? I haven't seen any.

Clearly they mean around the "live safely" part.

Transgender people are about as safe as anyone else in the u.s.

Trans people are a group that isn't as safe as others: https://www.hrc.org/resources/violence-against-the-trans-and...

44 transgender people killed last year.

19,000 people killed last year

0.6% of the population is trans according to wikipedia.

So we should expect 114 trans murder victims if they had the same rate of being a victim of homicide at the standard population

Looks like they're safer.

Also I said about as safe. Your risk of being involved in a homicide is ~1%. You'd need to be at a much higher risk of being killed before this impacts your overall safety.
