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

Punching someone also has the risk of being fatal.
Absolutely, but a much much lower risk than a stab. Since we are reasoning on the morals and not from a purely rhetorical point of view, we can't consider them the same. Also that's why I specifically said "slapping" in my example. Slapping is still physical violence, it's still an attack, but it's an example of something that doesn't warrant a potentially fatal response.
Pretty sure that neither of them are Mike Tyson, so uhhh
"Punching someone in the head can be just as fatal as stabbing."
I'm genuinely surprised people don't know this.
Did he go for the head? I haven't seen any video or articles mentioning the intended target.
I haven't, either. And I have looked. We're all working from incomplete information. All I know is, a man hits me, a middle aged woman, I can't just hit him back and expect to save myself. I'm gonna have to do something drastic.
