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

    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 agree, OP makes it out like it wasn’t an extreme act of violence, even though it did start as self defence.

              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.
