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

The last sentence isn't about the trans woman but the author describing themselves.
I hope she gets acquitted.
Maybe read the story before sharing your opinion
Maybe that is their opinion after reading it?
So someone spitting on another person after being called out for jumping ahead in line then stabbing them 15 times after that other person reacts to being spat on isn't evil?
I didn't say their opinion was a good one lol.
this post is about the headline right? So I reacted on that headline alone.
Welp, at least he isn't going to call anyone else slurs anymore, that's definitely a plus.
You know how many trans people commit suicide because they are ridiculed, spat at, hit, degraded in all sorts of circumstances all the time?
If people are more afraid to treat trans people like shit, that means fewer trans kids and trans people killing themselves.
She likely saved more lives by 1 death. There should be a culture of fear around disrespecting trans people. I am glad assholes will be more afraid that the trans person they dislike could have a knife and could stab them. She's an American Hero.
Also fuck you. Now multiply that by 1000, all the time, every day, and that's how trans people feel all the time you stupid ignorant fuck.
I'm a trans woman. Self defense? Stabbing someone 14 times to death and talking about how much you loved it and would do it again? That's pretty plainly not self defense. Even if you are happy a transphobe got atabbed to death (please, develop some empathy) she clearly deserves the sentence she got. Trans people are just people, some of us are evil bastards, just like all the other people. I've gotten slurs yelled at me, I would fight back if I needed to, but I'd never take sadistic glee in murdering someone. Please, consider what I've said. Try to understand why I said it. Don't bother ranting at me in a reply, I'm preemptively blocking you because I truly don't believe you want to do anything but argue.
As a bi guy, who probably doesn't come across as obviously effeminate when talking, who is probably able to walk down the street without getting dirty looks for being bi, who probably is able to go to a deli and buy a sandwhich without people knowing you are bi, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about...
But a lot of idiots are hot... Which makes me think you might be hot... And if you are bi and hot we should kick it sometime. You want to give me the help I need? ;-)
I wish I was as cool as her
He didn't get killed because he insulted someone. He got killed because he thought he could assault a trans woman and get away with it.
I don't think you know what that word means. Not only he was a transphobe piece of shit and started the whole confrontation in that specific way, at every turn he chose to escalate despite the involvement of the bystanders to pacify the situation. You just don't have the right to enact violence on people, sometimes you find that out the hard way.
Is this codified somewhere or are you just making shit up?
I only stab people with consent. I wish I was brave enough to get dirty with a transphobe's blood ☺️🤤😋
Coolness like that isn't realistic for normal people like us.
