Damn you see the plot point of a serial killer dressing as a woman as attack on trans? I often wonder if I am crazy, because that would never cross my mind. Why would I associate a serial killer with trans? Maybe a woman serial killer that kills women is also an attack on women? I think this kind of reaction actually harms trans more than the story. So out of this world that people will think that trans or gay or blue bi are not good in their mind and thus not a fellow person.

Damn you see the plot point of a serial killer dressing as a woman as attack on trans? In itself, no. When it comes from someone who has a history of claiming trans people are dangerous and shouldn't be alone with women, yes. Context is important.

  Could you provide a link to the context? I am skeptical but even so I upvoted you. I am sorry that your opinions lead to downvotes.

    JKR write under the pen name Robert Galbraith. Is it just a coincidence that the pen name she picked was the name of a gay conversion therapist? https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/man-who-fried-gay-people-s-brains-a7119181.html https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath

  > When it comes from someone who has a history of claiming trans people are dangerous and shouldn't be alone with women, yes. More specifically, when it comes from someone saying trans-women shouldn't be allowed it women's restrooms for the precise reason that it would be an opportunity for men who want to attack women to pretend to be women so that they could do so freely, a fictional piece with a central element that is a man who pretends to be woman so that he can attack women can very easily be seen as a dramatization of the exact argument the author has publicly made against trans rights.
