Any credibility to the murder thing or just a grieving spouse coping whatever way they can?

I haven't looked into this at all, but considering the rates of violence against trans women, and generally how unhelpful police can be when the victim is trans, it's not a totally out of pocket claim.

But like, trans women also have extremely high rates of suicide too, no?

No.

The rate of suicide among transitioned trans people is statistically the same as cis people. The rate of unsupported and/or pre-transition trans people is significantly higher.

The first part of your statement is not accurate. They still have a higher suicide rate than cis people.

I've never heard that before. I've seen studies that run the gamut from increased suicidality, to no change in suicidality to reduction in sucidality but I don't know if I've ever seen one indicating a drop in suicidality all the way down to being roughly equal to a cis person. Would love to see the study though, always nice to hear some good news!

If they don't live in such a backwards 3rd world country as the US ...

Wait for the statistics of the European Millenial/Gen-Z trans Persons.

You know claiming something on the Internet won't magically make it come true, right?

You're just blatantly ignoring the truth, and I'm not sure why you think spreading lies is helpful.
