Violent street crime has been steadily decreasing for decades as social support infrastructures have been developed and access to healthcare spreading. It is true if you're black you're more likely to be a victim of crime, and if you have a gender identity that isn't accepted by many people you are more likely to be a victim of a crime. If you are a racial and gender minority you are a lot more likely to be a victim of crimes than a caucasian person with a socially acceptable gender identity aka Americas most privileged.
You can say all that more honestly and less racistly. Facts can be racist when they are manipulated by people to make those who are gullible buy into their ideology, that White Man's Burden thing.
Intersectionality is the approach you wish to take if you're concerned about justice.
Facts can be manipulated when people make observations that aren't supported by the evidence, like mistaking correlation for causality. Intersectionality often (always) becomes a way to dismiss the causal roots of societal issues by conflating similar or related scenarios to prop up spurious correlations that wouldn't stand on their own, or to abstract away far past an identifiable problem with a discrete remedy and instead focus on vague theories of societal structure. We could identify that black transgender people are vastly disproportionately represented among low-income, high crime subcommunities and lifestyles, ie being a crackwhore and/or drug dealer- and thereby chalk up statistical representation to the same underlying risks associated with criminal lifestyles regardless of identity. And the remedy would be the same as it is for generalized crime. This serves as an inverse to the famous example of white people on HRT being less prone to heart attacks, because they came from richer and healthier lifestyles, rather than it being caused by the HRT.
Or, in intersectionality land, we could just relate the experience of black transgender people to historical slaves, native americans, aboriginees, muslim refugees and hobbits under sharkey and therefore ascribe the cause to a combination of societal repression, historical persecution and of course raciswypipo. And then shake our fists at vaguely defined power structures that exist to provide social services, public safety and welfare, because reasons.

If all people of color, gays, liberals, immigrants, religious minorities etc, wrote a letter to the scared white people saying we appreciate your contributions as America's special people would that make a difference?
Or is transgender remembrance just Andy Ngo "black men suck too day"?
Any people of color, gays, liberals, immigrants, religious minorities, etc become honorary cis WASP elite men the second they say something like that, revoking their identity card.
Andy Ngo for example is a straight rich white protestant man as far as Antifa is concerned.
Its what leads to the fun little interactions like this;
