After escaping that whole messy JonBenet thing and 2001 charges for child pornography Jon Mark Karr flies to Thailand for surgery. Reportedly for no other reason than to "help him avoid capture by the police." This article not only trivializes it also demonizes. Thanks, that's great. On the up and up at least there are a few sentences saying that Karr doesn't represent the majority of trans peoples' stories. By the end, the tone has somewhat changed. But I'm still annoyed by headline sensationalism. And the first half of the story.

i mean. is the media still that attached to the murder of a little white girl who was sexualized by patriarchal pageant culture? when so many other deaths are happening in less "sensational" communities of color? forget the trans aspect for a hot second - though not completely - how about the racism inherent in the fact that the media is still reporting this shit? good goddamn.
