Through my lens: My guess is that the primary reaction to this story will be that women are "just as much" pedophiles, "just as much" sexual predators, "just as much" child abusers, as men. And from that will flow the comments about how particularly sick and predatory lesbian women are.
It will be interesting to see if there is any specific scrutiny of transgenderism in this case, or if that was just opportunisitc on her part.
Whenever a woman commits a sexual crime involving a child it is intensely focused upon and sensationalized, in spite of the fact that men commit 85% of sexual crimes involving children.*
*That's reported crimes and yes, if reporting went up, crimes by women would go up, but so would crimes by men.
