Note that I’m not necessarily opposed to her facing consequences for killing him – my issue is with how gleefully NYPost is framing it as if she just attacked him out of the blue and shoehorning her into the “evil transgenders” stereotype

You know something is up when they state that they are transgender when it bears no meaning to the actual article. This would be the same as “Gay man murdered people” the point is bigotry.
Violently homosexual man brutalizes innocent bystander in gay rage.
You gotta mention that the innocent bystanders are straight, or else conservatives won’t know whether to feel sorry for them or be happy they were attacked.
Innocent God fearing all American red blooded heterosexual bystanders.
The real story is “Mentally Ill Person with a History of Knife Crime Stabs Mail Carrier in Fight”
The fact they are trans is less of a factor here than the fact they have a history of knife violence.
If a WASP with a trump shrine and 20 guns has mental health issues and kills 4 people it’s mental health issues.
If anyone not fitting the conservative mold, even if they have mental health issues, kills people it’s about their differences from the mold that come first. “Mental health” might get a one line mention at the bottom of the article.
Anyone murdering someone that shows no remorse for the death is probably not mentally sound regardless of who you are.
This person has a history of knife crimes so it isn’t a stretch to presume mental illness is a factor.
My comment was regarding how the press, the Post in particular, handle crimes if they can get more views by making it about lgbtq. I had no intent to offer an unqualified diagnosis of the person in the OP article.
That’s my point, gender has no relation to violent crimes, bringing it up in the headline is just bigoted
It was kind of a factor in that the mailman called her a f****t and that would be misgendering but Im not going to suggest that was the Post’s motivation
This might be an important detail to put in the post, but in the headline? It makes no sense past bigotry
I take issue with OP’s headline and the Post’s.
I agree, OP makes it out like it wasn’t an extreme act of violence, even though it did start as self defence.
Was the mailman armed? If not i can’t really frame stabbing someone with a knife as self-defense.
It was never self defense. She starts the fight by spitting on the guy which is assault.
To the people who consider them being trans headline-worthy, “trans person” and “mentally-ill person” are synonyms.

In a world where cis men have been deemed not guilty for murdering trans people just because they couldn’t tell until they got to the sex, there is no way I’d hold a trans person guilty of murder for defending themselves from an ongoing assault that very well could have escalated to a murder against her.
The story seems to be all over the place so it’s hard to piece together.
Getting in a fight over who’s first for a sandwich though and her comments afterwards make her seem like she was looking for an opportunity for something like this.

Yeah, you hardly ever hear Christian gunman kills X children at school.
