I appologize if offence was taken, but you reinforced my position by stating:

I'm a Psych major; I enjoy looking into the motivations of any crime, and analyzing any details that I can find. ... I'm sure the headline that would grab more attention would be "Jew murdered", as opposed to "Woman murdered". Headlines are meant to catch your eye. Don't assume that the only reason people are interested in this case is because the victim is "special"; she's still a victim.

No, she is not "STILL A VICTIM", and this is my point,
She has now become a "TRANSGENDERED VICTIM".
This unique spin on the article, the headline, the title of the thread, all focused on this point. You have now intellectually painted yourself into a corner. You no longer have the luxury of saying that the main point is that a human being lost their life. They are now apart from the millions of people who are victims of crime, and even different than other murder victims.
Yes, I will restate that the only reason that people are interested in this case is because she is special. To me, it is blatantly clear.
Please do not take offence.
