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

Several withess say she started the fight, she escalated the fight and neither stepped down.
Regardless she stabbed him. She has a history of knife crimes for fuck's sake. She wasn't a victim here. The dead guy was a victim. He might have been a transphobic asshole but that shouldn't be a death sentence.
If she were cis, armed, taller than him and outweighed him as she did in this case? I don't think she would be getting beaten to a pulp.In this case she waslarger, younger, stronger AND SHE STARTED THE FIGHT. There should be some degree of responsibility she bears for starting the fight and murdering someone.
No one said the problem was anything to do with them being trans. They have a history of knife crimes and they PROUDLY murdered someone. This is a case of a person who murdered someone because they felt entitled to. They said as much directly
Be better stop defending murders because they happen to be trans.
If you're so transphobic you beat up women in the bodega maybe it should be. I don't trust the government to protect us, we need to protect ourselves.
