A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. (lemmy.world)

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

I'm a trans woman. Self defense? Stabbing someone 14 times to death and talking about how much you loved it and would do it again? That's pretty plainly not self defense. Even if you are happy a transphobe got atabbed to death (please, develop some empathy) she clearly deserves the sentence she got. Trans people are just people, some of us are evil bastards, just like all the other people. I've gotten slurs yelled at me, I would fight back if I needed to, but I'd never take sadistic glee in murdering someone. Please, consider what I've said. Try to understand why I said it. Don't bother ranting at me in a reply, I'm preemptively blocking you because I truly don't believe you want to do anything but argue.
