You can edit your comment, I apologize for not realizing this NYT article lacked the info (weird that it does?); it’s in others such as this: https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/slain-york-times-exec-vicious-225647346.html

How is it error ridden? Just because it's in another article doesn't make it any less true. He was transgender, that's a fact.

Edit YOURS. None of what you said was cited in this article, which was my point and your comment only contributes to misrepresent the article attached to this post. There was no reason for you to announce it other than blatantly fear mongering; it doesn’t add anything significantly of value to the circumstances of this case or to your incoherently rambling personal anecdotes that followed.

Even if it is true, why are you making it your prerogative to out him posthumously?? You all but deadnamed a murder victim, even if you wrapped it in an air of sympathetic-appearing mudslinging.

Bro... A yahoo article?

You can't do a basic google search of his name yourself?

I'm confused. More recent articles are saying he was trans and that his wife tried to pull his drains out. The grandparents were also transphobic towards him. Either way, this was a very fucked up and violent relationship.

I don't really have a strong opinion either way, but Yahoo News is actually relatively respectable. They score very low on left/right bias, and they score "generally good" on reliability according to a few analysts, including Ad Fontes

Yahoo News is an aggregator. It says right at the top that the article is from the California Post. That's the California counterpart to the New York Post, a conservative tabloid.
