WATCH: The horrific explosion of violence against trans<\/a> women<\/a> of color<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Catching up to reality, the ABC News program Nightline<\/em> has investigated the epidemic of American violence unleashed on transgendered people since Trump\u2019s election, especially trans<\/a> women<\/a> of color<\/a>, and the result is nothing less than devastating.<\/p>\n

Hosted by reporter Juju Chang, the segment focuses on a group of trans<\/a> women<\/a> living in Dallas, doing a deep dive on the story of\u00a0 22-year-old Muhlaysia Booker. In April, a crowd of bystanders stood and watched as a man<\/a> attacked and beat Booker following a minor traffic accident. Passers-by filmed the incident, videos<\/a> of which went viral.<\/p>\n

However, onlookers only intervened after the beating had rendered Booker unconscious.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Following the attack, Booker made an eloquent public plea for an end to violence and acceptance of trans<\/a> people. A few weeks later, she was murdered.<\/p>\n

Booker is one of at least 18 trans<\/a> women<\/a> of color murdered this year, although the Human Rights Campaign say at least three-quarters of crimes against trans<\/a> people go unreported.<\/p>\n

The ABC report also details an attack against Denver resident Amber Hernandez, a Latina trans<\/a> person who had her jaw shattered during a beating by a group of men<\/a>. The attackers have so far eluded arrest.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Pose<\/i> star Dominique Jackson<\/a> is quoted about the culture of violence, offering anecdotes from her own experience as an African-American who is trans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The segment should provide a rallying cry for anyone who cares about human rights, and an ominous warning about the dangers of Trump-era bigotry.<\/p>\n
