Transgender people are over four times more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than their cisgender counterparts. The rates of murder, rape, and violent crime of Indigenous people are all higher than the national average. In fact, according to the CDC, indigenous females experienced the second-highest rate of homicide in 2020.

Aubrey Dameron is a transgender woman of Cherokee descent. On March 9, 2019, she walked out of her mother’s home in Grove, Oklahoma. Her phone stopped pinging 100 feet away, and she hasn’t been seen since. Aubrey’s disappearance highlights the struggles that trans people face in general, as well as the specific struggles she had within her own community and family. Was Aubrey’s disappearance related to her “lifestyle,” as police claim, or was it someone close to her who made Aubrey disappear?
