also a million other characters, but i saw someone arguing silence of the lambs wasn’t transphobic the other day so that’s on my mind

    the writers didn’t intend for the movie to be transphobic because “”Buffalo Bill isn’t actually a trans woman””

    I don’t get why people even on this site have such a hard time understanding that this makes the movie a hundred times more transphobic. The portrayal of the killer is bad enough as it is, i have serious trauma from this shit, but piling all this transmedicalism on top of it, having Hannibal misgender the killer and claim that “he” actually just has some weird fetish instead of being a TRVE TRANSSEXVAL is at the very core of what makes this garbage the transphobe’s version of Birth of a Nation. What’s so hard to understand about that? Why does Hexbear have such a hard time recognizing and calling out transmedicalism?
