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

Think about all the scared transphobes less likely to harass transgenders as a result this stabbing. She probably prevented numerous trans people from being assaulted and prevented some trans kids from committing suicide due to a reduction in bullying. She's a hero. IMHO, she should get a medal.
Also, by adhering to the principles of self-defense, which the founding fathers advocated for via the 2nd Ammendment, what she did was an act of American patriotism.
Think about all the transphobes who will now see trans people as violent and callous. If this has any effect, it'll increase the likelihood of violent attacks.
if it were anyone else it wouldn't be anything but a blurb on the local police blotter. this has only been elevated to national news in order to cause the effect you describe and further the narrative that trans people are dangerous. if there weren't anything real to point to they would invent it anyway (and have often done so in the past). it's not on trans people.
I mean, if anyone else stabbed someone to death and then said "I liked doing it, I'll piss on their grave and I'd do it again", it'd be on the news.
Which in increase the likelihood of more sensationalist "news"...
Which will up the likelihood of self defense. Gotta defend myself against being murdered. Even if it means kill or be killed.
It's almost like the media has twisted all of this to inspire infighting to distract from other problems. Like the incoming lawless fascism state that's going to further twist all facts and reporting to use conformity to delete anything and anyone they don't like or threatens their power.
Next time they wont spit, they'll escalate further ti avoid retaliation
Damn. I gotta up my self defense game then. She's a paragon.
