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

    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.

      The story seems to be all over the place so it’s hard to piece together.

      Getting in a fight over who’s first for a sandwich though and her comments afterwards make her seem like she was looking for an opportunity for something like this.

        the dude started attacking her in a full on hate crime…
        if anyone starts attacking me in a sandwich shop, i am going for maximum damage… i’m not going to just hope they’ll stop attacking me, i will do my best to make it not possible for them to attack (although leaving is the first choice… if i can’t, i’m hurting them).
        she has zero remorse, but i don’t imagine it’s the first time she’s been attacked for being trans.
