Wyoming’s “stand your ground” law is supposed to offer legal protections to gun owners who draw in self-defense, yet Ms. Kelver was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent, charges that carry up to 15 years in prison.
The case has touched off an impassioned debate in one of the country’s most gun-friendly, staunchly Republican states about whether the Second Amendment applies when the person holding the gun is transgender.

Dude, fuck of with this moralizing nonsense. How she should have acted is irrelevant. The issue is she’s being tried for something that is obviously legal for someone with a different gender identity.
unmagical is a fed. i can feel it, look at that wall of corpo-sanitized lecturing text down (up) there.
This is how they justified Trayvon Martin’s murder, and that POS stalked him, disobeying the police. Now he’s rich from signed packets of candy.
walking up to them is way more than “not retreating”. i wouldn’t be so sure the same situation would be obviously legal for a cis person, especially if the 'phobes had a rich daddy or were related to the mayor.
