whats really appalling is buzzfeed’s article on the trans axe murderer. they literally painted her as an anguished victim who totally blacked out and couldnt believe that she was capable of being violent. meanwhile the reality is that he went on a tinder date, she rejected him cause he was a man and she was a lesbian, and he sent a friend messages about how some people deserve to die and literally TOLD THE DATE ‘a lot of people are gonna die and its gonna be your fault’

this literally sounds like a fucking incel murder. also the article that included the actual details literally started with talking about his high academic achievements and ‘privileged upbringing’, and stressed throughout the whole article that he was very mentally ill and depressed etc etc

this is the exact same way the media treats murderers / rapists / etc who are white and male. because the gigantic majority of violent trans women are also white and male. and people still defend this.
