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

    Not sure why the perpetrator being trans was important enough to put in the title, considering it didn’t seem to have anything to do with the crime…

      It maybe had a little bit of something to do with the slurs? If the other participant wasn’t trans, then I think the guy would’ve probably used different insults, probably not racial slurs, idk for sure though. Not sure, but I feel as though she’d probably have reacted in a similar manner. But the reason they put it in the title, is because the NY Post wants people to feel like trans people are dangerous. They’ve been targeting trans girls for a while now, especially with the bathroom bullshit, shameful.
