"Billy hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual. But his pathology is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying."

Saw this quote from Silence of the Lambs and thought "huh, someone who knows what's going on".

Not saying TRAs are potential serial killers, just that some (most?) are unhinged and/or self hating and no one can talk about it.

How dare Dr Lecter think he knows her identity better than she does. If Buffalo Bill identifies as a woman, then she's a woman, and no-one has the right to ask any questions or think of her in any other way.

It's well established that sexually motivated killers, serial or otherwise, have incredibly high incidences of paraphilias. Among them the research shows upwards of 25% practice transvestism. https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.146.7.887 https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1556-4029.2006.00105.x https://doi.org/10.1177%2F1079063215609935 https://doi.org/10.1002/cbm.1925
