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

Yeah the fact that she is transgender has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she murdered someone, the only reason the press is including that fact is to stir up drama, hate, and ad revenue. It's pretty despicable, but I have come to expect nothing more from the press. There is no such thing as an honourable news reporter these days, just gossip columnists.

My read on it is that they’re intentionally cross wiring it to blur the issue and attach a negative colloquialism to trans people. This is part of how a group becomes considered untermensch by our illustriously imbecilic regime. If I was trans I would gtfo the country now, no joke. This is some goebbels-type shit, so you know it’s probably Steven Miller’s idea, that fucking psychotic dweeb

It was self defense though, not murder. Seems like she just got carried away with defending herself instead of being killed. It's a kill or be killed world out there.

You don't get to claim self-defense in an altercation you started and escalated. Or I guess you can try, but you're gonna have a bad time

[-] SCmSTR 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's wild.

It doesn't matter who started it, if you're afraid for your life, I think you have the right to defend your life.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

If you escalate it, you will eventually get into a point where you fear for your life, so then literally every conflict you can then claim self defense.

And should we support cops for doing that?

Do you actually want to know what I actually think?

I can see where your head is at. Also, is this all the same person but on different accounts? Go back to Reddit.

Nope just an outsider calling you lame so you don't think it's just one person like you would like to believe.
