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

    Aha. "cross wiring". It's not sexism or racism or a bigoted hate crime, it's just "cross wiring"

    Cross wiring, as in to, use preexisting hatred or fear of a subclass to apply it to another one. Such as fear of mentally I'll murderers into fear of trans or hatred of pedophiles to attach it to multiple groups in the past years. It helps people to justify what should be immediately recognizable as sexism or racism or bigotry.

    That feels easy reading comprehension and you are in a desire to be angry to avoid the obvious conotation to yell that people are not using words you like. Its not productive to you or others or conversation

    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

    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.

    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.
