I, along with a lot of other people, am in the process of preparing for TGDoR. In previous years, the 'list' of trans people murdered (which tends to be read out at the London ceremony) seems to have been posted or mirrored at www.transgenderdor.org. This year, however, the list there is very short, not even approaching the 93 murders quoted here between January and June, http://www.transrespect-transphobia.org/en_US/tvt-project/tmm-results/july-august-2010.htm.
Taking those figures as accurate and extrapolating from them, it would seem to me that we'd be looking at a list of more than 150 names, rather than the ~25 on www.transgenderdor.org
I was wondering if anyone knew of any sources for a more complete list, or whether groups need to compile the TransRespect names, the TransgenderDoR names, and search through news sources to complete the list?
