Archive of Violence Against Trans*masculine People

The primary goal of this archive is to raise awareness for FTM transmasc victims of violence, as well as all victims of anti-transmasculinity.This list includes self-identified trans men & transmasculine people, as well as butches & masculine women whose gender presentation makes them the target of violence which seeks to correct or punish them for their masculinity. While these identities are not synonymous and can exist independently, transmasculine and lesbian communities cannot be divorced from one another; neither can anti-transmasculinity and lesbophobia. This list also includes others who are victimized by anti-transmasculinity even if they themselves are not FTM transmasculine.Anti-transmasculine violence, and transmasc victims of other forms of violence, are rarely discussed. This is due in part to the frequency with which transmasculine people are misgendered and deadnamed after death and only considered victims of violence against women, as well as due to the erasure and hyperinvisibility of transmasculine existence. This archive exists to bring awareness to violence against transmascs and remember the victims of such violence.All incidents include the victim's name/alias if known, their location, a short description of the event, and a link to an article about the event.You can view the list in its entirety, or by location, ethnicity, and type of violence.If there is an incident you know of that you feel should be put in this archive, send an ask to @genderkoolaid. If you know of something that fits here but isn't in the news, you can submit that following these rules.Content warning:
This archive includes accounts of murder, torture, mutilation, rape, abuse, sexual assault, physical assault, harassment, suicide, and threats against transmasculine people, as well as racist violence. Please view with caution, and remember that the trans experience is not defined by the violence done to us. This archive exists to remember the victims of anti-transmasculine violence, not to stoke blind fear or despair. Take care of yourself.
