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

So bodily fluids of other ppl really gross me out, does that mean getting spit on gives me the right to use self defence? Id rather get punched many many times than spit on for context

I think if you were all up in someone's space screaming at them, there's a certain level of expected spit contact there just from talking, right?

Which is another reason you and I wouldn't be in this position. Gross!

But I do want to clarify I don't think she should be able to just like, walk away scot free from this. I just whole-heartedly disagree with people who want her dead. Or who think that fifteen years isn't a long enough sentence. Fifteen years is a long time. People are way too ready to discard people in this country.
