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 guessing that people are defending transgenders in general and this shitbait NY post article frames it in. Away that isn't too far off from insinuating that all trans are "pure evil".
Hell, "trans" shouldn't have been in the headline as it is of no consequence to what happened. Whatever the reason for the incident, she didn't stab the guy because she's trans. One human stabbed another, that one was trans or black or green for all I care doesn't matter and it is very hard not to feel that this bit was added just to sow division amongst people
it's a dogwhistle. they're implying that trans people are mentally ill and that the postal worker is a victim of inaction with or indulgence in the trans population.
It's the same reason why all the chuds started banging out about how violent trans people/leftists are when that trans man (~~if i remember correctly~~ i did) shot up a school a year or so ago.
despite the fact that the overwhelming amount of school shooters are cis right wing incels
Duh, because it's the NY Post. They are trash. That's why most comments have even been prefacing statements about the defendant talking about how shitty the Post is.
