Woman sets person on fire in US

I am quite concerned at how violent women seem to have gotten. I don’t know why people claim that men are the ones who commit most violent crime when there are ladies like this who act just as violently.

Die in a fire in action. I bet the woman he set light to doesn't thing he's a woman.

The framing of that article is so weird, with the photo of the suspect juxtaposed with the "woman sets fire to person" language. It makes it seem as if the person in the photo must be one who some unseen woman set fire to. If you're unfamiliar with this "debate" that's probably what you'd assume.

Meanwhile in reality the invisible woman is the victim, as it's becoming increasingly clear is usually the case.

It's notable how often the comments with these things are GC now and the lack of trans ideology pile-ons. Have those who used to defend anything at all under the umbrella of trans realised it's a bad idea?
Am I wrong to view this with suspicion and wonder, what next?

Well I guess this falls under the umbrella of ‘things that never happen’ so they don’t want to get involved at all. They pretend it doesn’t happen instead. It doesn’t really fit the narrative of trans people being the most oppressed group in society, peacefully trying to just exist. I mean, sure, some of them are just peacefully trying to exist, but nobody has ever said that all transwomen are violent. Not all men are violent either. The point is that some TW are violent, same as some men are and they pose an equal threat to women that men do. Thinking you’re a woman does nothing to reduce the threat level, as the poor poor woman who was set on fire found out.

I'm not sure peak transing people with photos and ludicrously transparent "censorship" is necessarily gender critical. The subtext could easily be: "Look at us self-censoring ourselves in order not to get in trouble with the Powerful Liberals!!!! Help, help, I'm being oppressed!"

The Miami Herald's freely writing about the case (just as lots of other outlets were writing about it: it wasn't suppressed) and pretending it needed fo censor itself is either economic (clickbait) or political.

The left could call this out even while covering its arse politically with the message that this sort of thing endangers ordinary trans people (which it probably does. Encouraging a very-armed population to regard trans people as a threat is pretty damned monstrous).

On twitter they say woman set person on fire,but the picture link to the article says 'suspect sets woman on fire then may have gone on arson spree'

How is it permissible to deny the victim's sex in the reporting, yet be sure to accurately name the alleged perpetrator as whatever they prefer to be called?

Sex neutralising crime reports and stats. Denying men are violent. Theres been a few on MN traversing the board's recently causing disruption to some key threads and insults to women.

They need to report clearly so there can't be confusion, i.e.

'the woman suspect photographed in the picture'

Confused the bloody gaslighters
