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

You know something is up when they state that they are transgender when it bears no meaning to the actual article. This would be the same as "Gay man murdered people" the point is bigotry.

    If a WASP with a trump shrine and 20 guns has mental health issues and kills 4 people it’s mental health issues.

    If anyone not fitting the conservative mold, even if they have mental health issues, kills people it’s about their differences from the mold that come first. “Mental health” might get a one line mention at the bottom of the article.

    That's my point, gender has no relation to violent crimes, bringing it up in the headline is just bigoted

    This might be an important detail to put in the post, but in the headline? It makes no sense past bigotry

    I agree, OP makes it out like it wasn't an extreme act of violence, even though it did start as self defence.

    The real story is “Mentally Ill Person with a History of Knife Crime Stabs Mail Carrier in Fight”

    To the people who consider them being trans headline-worthy, "trans person" and "mentally-ill person" are synonyms.

    In a world where cis men have been deemed not guilty for murdering trans people just because they couldn't tell until they got to the sex, there is no way I'd hold a trans person guilty of murder for defending themselves from an ongoing assault that very well could have escalated to a murder against her.
