Puerile fascination with sex workers is far too common, but taking it so far that it dehumanises murdered women is beyond loathsome. She was a full, complex, feeling, thinking human, beloved by people who are waking up today to sensationalist headlines like this. Show some  respect.

Also, stop erasing men from the murders they commit. She wasn’t killed by a shoe, she was killed by a man who chose to murder her.
