Repugnant NY Post Does Another Repugnant Thing

Yesterday, the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post published this story, with this headline.
We know it's the New York Post. We know what their standards are, and they're not very high. Many of the writers and editors have made it clear that they could care less about the trans young people reading their paper - or parents and friends who have lost a loved one due to anti-trans violence.
I figured I'd try to communicate the problem with that headline to them in a manner they might more easily understand. Chances are pretty good that even if I were to provide a link to our guide for journalists covering transgender victims of violent crime to them, it would go un-clicked. But I do happen to know another language that they speak over there.
Giant block letters.
