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

Oh bullshit. 95lb woman against me, a 225lb man? If I were to attack a woman like that you are saying she shouldn't be able to level the field.
But you're making absolute statements and it's just false.
And you're just flat out incorrect

This is a complete fantasy. You don't even have to ensure that they are armed they represent a fatal threat by breaking into your house with you in it you would have every right to shoot them immediately
Most of us don't live in NY
NY is way too small to hold 8.2 billion people.
That's fine. It's almost like the law has nuance.
Go read that NY law I posted to your above comment and tell me that an armed person using deadly force against an unarmed person is always illegal in New York.
edit: yeah, gedafukouddahea!
If you had ever followed that advice, you wouldn't be repeating this nonsense. You would have learned the 6 general criteria required for a self defense claim, and that none of those criteria require the defender to be less-well-armed than the attacker.
This subject is too serious for your uninformed opinion. PM me your zip code, and I would be happy to find you a class on the laws regulating self defense.
