In the Press: When is it Okay to ID a Person as Trans?

http://tranifesto.com/2010/07/16/in-the-press-when-is-it-okay-to-id-a-person-as-trans/I swear, trans people are doing so many things today that we are constantly in the headlines – literally.
"Transgender woman robs a bank," "Transgender man robs a bank" (usually the same story), "Transgenders protest new law" (those "transgenders" – always out of control), "Transsexual people go to grocery store, shop for food" (anything counts as news with us).
But when does it really matter whether or not a person is transgender or transsexual? When is this part of the news, and when is it simply used to get views for the story?
