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

“I killed him laughing. Oh, well. I’ll piss on his grave.”

Sorry, but this IS pure evil.

Yeah, I'm trans and find this pretty indefensible. I've gotten slurs yelled at me, I've never started a physical fight over it and certainly never fucking stabbed someone 14 times to death.

Yeah, I'd probably feel worse for her if she seemed to have felt anything about this. There's no reason to ever feel happy about having killed someone. Perhaps relieved as in a "it's finally over" kind of way. But finding the fact that you've killed someone funny? Not reasonable whatsoever. He shouldn't have called her slurs, but words deserve words, actions deserve action. Fuck both of them.

He hit her before she stabbed him.

They seem to have been having a contest over who could escalate more. She cuts in line. Asshole behavior, not chill. He says slurs, not chill, not okay. I have the same reaction to most confrontations, which is a "damn, chill bro", which would've probably put him in much more of the right. She spit on him, extremely disrespectful, most people I know wouldn't just take that. Then he hits her, not reasonable, extremely not okay. Then, she stabs him (14?) times, which is a tad bit overkill, not chill. Me personally, at this point I'd have pulled the knife out, but not done anything with it, in an attempt to get him to back off. Then, she seems rather pleased about the whole thing. In my opinion, they're both dogshit people. His death should be neither mourned nor celebrated.
