The article claims that "trans women in 2021 are among the most at-risk groups in US history". I looked into this and can find no corroboration. GLAAD compiles a list of trans people killed each year and, even if they're only catching half of all cases, then the US trans murder rate is still less than the US murder rate.

In summary, we need to pay this guy more?

The claim is also very extraordinary given that the US history also includes people who were literally enslaved and dehumanized to the point where murdering them was not an occurrence and, in some cases, even bred like cattle.
