I’ve gotten to the point where I want to drop kick people who flip out over Troubled Blood without actually having read it.

For those who haven’t read it, here is all the “transphobia” in the 900+ page book: 1. A serial killer named Dennis Creed is known to have worn a wig and women’s coat when he abducted one woman. This was to disguise himself, not to cross dress. 2. It’s noted at one point that Creed would steal women’s underwear as a youth so he could masturbate in them. It should be noted that Creed was based on Jerry Brudhos and this was a nod to Brudhos’ doing that with women’s shoes. 3. Creed keeps his victims’ jewelry stashed away under a floorboard as trophies. When the prosecution mentions this at his trial, Creed’s defense is that he cross dresses sometimes. Everyone knows it’s bullshit because Creed’s smirking when he says it and he photographed the victims extensively while they still had on the jewelry. 4. When Strike (the main character) confronts Creed in prison Creed states that he would pretend to be gay and act effeminate so women would drop their guard around him and make it easier for him to abduct them.

Unless discussing antisocial behaviors, sexual paraphilia, or predatory behavior is now transphobic, there is nothing transphobic in the book.

Anyways, sorry you got banned. But, yes, fuck people who want to profit in some way off JKR’s work but want to throw her under the bus.
