See, this is the reason why I was surprised the article made it into the popular press at all. Murders and crimes committed against transgendered and transsexuals go largely unreported in the mass media. However, you do bring up an excellent point: they sensationalized it. There is no middle ground where reporting regarding crimes against these people are reported like other murders: they're either not talked about at all or tabloidized. Both options sadden me immensely.
