This is ridiculous. Apparently what started this is that someone claims that in her new book "A cis man dressed as a woman" kills women, or something and apparently this is twansphobic uwu. But if it is a CIS man, how can it be transphobic? These people are literally forcing transvesites, drag queens, and crossdressers into the trans label now.

Here is the blurb of the book according to Goodreads It's not out yet so no one knows for sure what's inside it:

Private Detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he is approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough - who went missing in mysterious circumstances in 1974.

Strike has never tackled a cold case before, let alone one forty years old. But despite the slim chance of success, he is intrigued and takes it on; adding to the long list of cases that he and his partner in the agency, Robin Ellacott, are currently working on. And Robin herself is also juggling a messy divorce and unwanted male attention, as well as battling her own feelings about Strike.

As Strike and Robin investigate Margot's disappearance, they come up against a fiendishly complex case with leads that include tarot cards, a psychopathic serial killer and witnesses who cannot all be trusted. And they learn that even cases decades old can prove to be deadly . . .

A breathtaking, labyrinthine epic, Troubled Blood is the fifth Strike and Robin novel and the most gripping and satisfying yet.

EDIT - here is the review that started this mess:

The meat of the book is the investigation into a cold case: the disappearance of GP Margot Bamborough in 1974, thought to have been a victim of Dennis Creed, a transvestite serial killer. One wonders what critics of Rowling’s stance on trans issues will make of a book whose moral seems to be: never trust a man in a dress.

Because what is called trans today was just tranvestite in the past. They know it is the same in the end, that's why they hate it
