> So as a result of this we get, for example, articles like this one on Dana Rivers, who murdered in cold blood a lesbian couple and their son: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Rivers. He is described as "she" and "her" throughout the article, despite this actually being the crime of a man.

In this case, isn't the crime more important than what she chooses to identify as? I'm all for prosecuting a murder, but bringing gender politics into it feels strange and unwarranted.
