I think that it plays in to a long history of linking transvestism and transgenderism with a bogeyman narrative. Why not call the suspected killer, Hadden Clarke? As far as his “cross-dressing” goes, it appears that he disguised himself as a murder victim to make it look like she left the murder scene alive. I’ve only had a cursory look at his history, so there may be more to it than that; but, currently, I’m not convinced there is much to be gained from that sensationalist lable.
