Cross dressing is so common among serial killers in some countries it's taught to criminal psychologist that it's one of the factors to look for in potential suspect's.

It's around 25% of serial killers compared to 2-3% of men.

Same with sex offenders in prisons (excluding prostitution), it is 40-50% of transwomen compared to 15-20% of men.

I've seen this said before, have you got a source?

Oh wow, there it is on page 889. What were they giving JK Rowling so much flack for? 1 in 4 novels on serial killers could include this paraphilia & not be over-representing it.

This is interesting.

Do you have a source for this?

Also... How do you know so much about crossdressing serial killers? :-/

Like most women of a certain age my mother watches nothing but documentaries about either serial killers or Nazis.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

documentaries about either serial killers or Nazis.

Any crossdressing Nazi docs?

Is your mother familiar with David Irving?

Edit: Irving is neither a Nazi, nor a crossdresser.
I'm just curious about the measure of the documentaries.

One of them, 'Teena Brandon' had a movie made about her in 1999. If you look at her Wiki page it describes her as a trans-man & uses male pronouns throughout.

Also mentioned on Wikipedia:

In December 1990, Teena went to Holiday Skate Park with his friends, binding his breasts in order to pass as male. The 18-year-old Teena went on a date with a 13-year-old girl. He also met the girl's 14-year-old friend, Heather,[8] and began regularly presenting as male.

This would constitute pedophilia under the DSM criteria.

You come to forums, they don't come to you.

You are very very right snowassman

Nominator's rationale: There are only two entries, which could be handled by simply ==See also== linking them, and the category also seems unusual as there is not e.g. a Category:African-American serial killers or Category:Hindu serial killers: it seems serial killers are otherwise only categorized by nationality and by whether they are male or female, which both entries in this category already are.

This all sounds...perfectly reasonable? I don't think this is an instance of "crazy wikipedia wokeness" as you are making it out to be.

If none of them were trans, then what were they? Cross-dressers? Then remove the 2 trans-womxyn, keep the page & re-name it accordingly – that would have been perfectly reasonable.

[–]AcceleratedWallops 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

But why have a list of two people?

[–]SnowAssMan[S] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, the list would exclude two people. The list would contain all it's entries apart from the two who are not crossdressers but trans.

[–]jet199 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's a lie. It wasn't only two at all.

You base this on?
