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

Yes, as the armed person you do not have any claim of self defense against an unarmed person.

She was s struck after she spit on the guy which is also assault.

She is lucky she is not in a state with the death penalty

The person doesn't have to have a weapon to be a threat to your lif. Based on your logic someone could say I'm going to beat you to death and go about doing it and 10 minutes later with 17 broken bones you'd have no case for self defense that doesn't track at all.

I think you misunderstand
