"Transvestite pushed under train: woman undergoing sex change appears in court"

The article gives almost no details about the victim and the accused other
 than their gender identities, and suggests no link between their gender
 identities and the alleged crime. In short, if these women were not
 transgendered, you would not have published this story. This breaches the
 Australian Press Council's Statement of Principles. Please adhere to
 those principles by not gratuitously emphasising the gender of
 individuals.
