I don't even have to care whether freaking out is a perfectly natural response to discovering that someone is trans or not. Murder is not a reasonable or appropriate response to freaking out. If someone wants to go home and get the shakes over discovering that someone is actually trans, that is blessedly neither my problem nor that of whoever they're freaking about. As soon as their fists enter the picture, it becomes society's problem in a big hurry.

As someone else said, nice to see that the jury knows murder when it sees it.
