    Agreed to an extent. I think if a cis-het male was in her position, they probably would have still been charged. A cis-het female probably wouldn’t have been.

    There’s definitely an element of a “trans women aren’t women” to this, which I agree is problematic.

    And apart from that, the law should be equally applied in these scenarios, and the gender of those in involved shouldn’t weigh in to those decisions.

      Absolutely no way a cis-het male would have been charged.

      It’s 100% legal stand your ground/self defense in Wyoming. The cops absolutely know this, they’re just bigots
