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

Cruz (the stabber) plead guilty.

The stabbing isn't the question, the question is whether it was self defense or murder.

Is this something that just happened? The article I linked says she admits she stabbed him, but pleads not guilty to the charge of murder, I believe on the grounds of self defense. Considering New York's typical (extremely hostile) stance on self defense pleas I'd be surprised if the judge agrees though.
