Found on a blog about Netflix’s Disclosure

Far too meta for me I think.

A trans character being a murderer in a film is an unsympathetic portrayal rather than transphobic per se.

I think that depends on wether their trans status is what has driven them to murder.

I seem to recall an episode of Wire In The Blood where a trans character was murdering gay men for reasons.

Nothing wrong with a trans murderer as such but it’s lazy Hollywood stereotyping (see representations of those with MH problems too). But that’s Hollywood.

MASSIVE SPOILER FOR DRESSED TO KILL
(In case anyone wants to watch it)
From Wiki

“Elliott is arrested and placed in an insane asylum. Dr. Levy explains later to Liz that Elliott wanted to be a woman, but his male side would not allow him to go through with the operation. Whenever a woman sexually aroused Elliott, Bobbi, representing the unstable, female side of the doctor's personality, became threatened to the point that it finally became murderous. When Dr. Levy realized this through his last conversation with Elliott, he called the police on the spot, who then, with his help, did their duty.“

That’s just a mess on so many fronts. (Can you tell I’m not a DePalma fan?)

I seem to recall an episode of Wire In The Blood where a trans character was murdering gay men for reasons.

The Mermaids Singing. That was grim!

Breakfast on Pluto with Cillian Murphy is supposed to be a good representation of transwomen I think, but I’ve never seen it. People tell me Hedwig and the Angry Inch is good but again I can’t comment.

Sorry this probably isn’t interesting to anyone but me 😂

I used to frequent a gay horror site called Camp Blood, be interesting to see how they deal with trans characters as there’s some language used there would probably cause a ban here!
