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

People need to stop picking sides and in groups. If people are mistreating you it doesn't really matter what group you belong in as that's more just for personal identification and doesn't help the situation at all to defend based on sides.
Ehh, no one here will care when our identity is all we think that matters. But this just further divides the groups and continues the work of the assholes that think it useful to do so.
Tell me you're privileged without telling me you're privileged
Yeah I am not. I don't have the privilege and never have to stab my attackers and they get away with being seen as good people despite the trauma I am left with. I'm a member of the LGBTQ community and was sexually assaulted by 2 partners and a parent.
You just don't like people disagreeing with your point of view so you decide you know who they are to justify thinking they must be a person you dismiss.
Shame I asked for community and good treatment of others.
Transphobe bigot: attacks trans woman for being trans, in a clear case of hate crime
Lemmy bazinga brains: "guys let's just stop picking sides"
That is not what happened. Literally please one of the many recaps or article links about this person that cut in line then stabbed the person that called them out for it and not just headlines and assume you understand everything.
I've actually read it, you're missing the part where the reaction to cutting a line was a slur against trans people, and the part where the dead guy literally started physically assaulting the one with the knife.
The US is literally in a descent to fascism, killing overtly violent and transphobe individuals is a good thing
Very clearly then we are both continuing to misconstrue the event as you are also leaving out important parts of the news article. It was a nasty back and forth and unpleasant on both sides. Involving spitting and punching but one person was stabbed 14 times over it and the one doing it has done so 5 times before.
People were not being good to each other here and I do not feel either side needs my sympathy but the side still alive will need to accept repurcusions of killing another person for their actions and they don't need our cheering.
Fight fascism don't fight on behalf of those that don't need protection. This won't help us.
You missed the part where Cruz called Hodges a racial slur after he cut in front of Hodges in line.
Defending Cruz just because he's trans, even though he plead guilty, is fascist in and of itself.
Stop making excuses for shitty behavior. You're in a descent into fascism, it looks like.
Cruz is She, Hodge is He. Think you got them backwards.
