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

    You know something is up when they state that they are transgender when it bears no meaning to the actual article. This would be the same as “Gay man murdered people” the point is bigotry.

    ITT: propaganda successfully vilifying trans people as a group and idiots gobbling it up

    Ask yourself why the news never specifies criminals gender identities unless it’s one of the scapegoats.

    Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

      I doubt they framed the dude who chocked the homeless man to death on the subway as a “disgusting human being”

    Yea, as awful as the NY Post is for framing it this way, this ain’t about them being trans. She bought a knife, wanted to stab someone, picked a fight and continually escalated (she fucking spat on him, sorry but bodily fluids are an assault and the dude had every right to treat it as being hit) until she pulled a knife in an encounter she started.

    Got hit three times before pulling a knife? Just cuz she was too fucking slow to stab him after the first hit like she wanted to.

    Can’t believe there’s people defending this.

    Yeah, this is a tabloid. In a decent world people running tabloids would be imprisoned or doing thousands of hours of community service.
