JK Rowling’s latest book is about a murderous cis man who dresses as a woman to kill his victims - Discuss all the JK Rowling tranny shit here

Wtf, why is this story 900 pages? The fuck? This is the problem with success. She doesn't have an editor anymore.



No joke, the first thing I thought of when I saw the title was "Why is it ok for JK Rowling to straight up steal the plot to Dressed to Kill? De Palma should sue!

I was actually thinking the same thing. Bet Tumblr never heard of it. Of course, they’re freaking out over this, but I don’t see the big deal.
 
Instead, he is a man who had “camouflaged himself behind an apparently fey and gentle facade”. Having been abused as a child, Creed begins watching women undressing in secret at the age of 12, stealing women’s underwear and wearing it while masturbating. On one work night out, he puts on the coat of a female colleague and sings a song. He has “a convivial, sexually ambiguous persona that worked well with the drunk and lonely”; when a stash of jewellery is found hidden below his floorboards, “he said he’d bought it because he liked to cross-dress”. In reality, this was a lie to cover that these were trophies taken from his victims.

Creed is described as a “genius of misdirection in his neat little white van, dressed in the pink coat he’d stolen from [his landlady] Vi Cooper, and sometimes wearing a wig that, from a distance, to a drunk victim, gave his hazy form a feminine appearance just long enough for his large hands to close over a gasping mouth”.

Oh, so not even a transvestite, just someone from /b/.
 
I can't believe I love JK Rowling now. What a timeline to be alive.
As Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid in the iconic Harry Potter movies responded to prior outrage targeting Rowling, "I don’t think what she said was offensive really. I don't know why but there's a whole Twitter generation of people who hang around waiting to be offended."
To follow up on this a bit

Yes, the actor that plays Hagrid backs her up. It sets a good precedence really, if more people start showing support for her.
 
Unfortunately all the other actors from HP threw her to the wolves, from Radcliffe to Emma to Rupert to the black Hermione that Rowling bent over backwards to try to justify. Fuck, even the chink actress felt it necessary to along with working in a BLM virtue signal.

Radcliffe - Daniel Radcliffe, who rose to fame playing Harry Potter, was one of the first to address the issue with a lengthy statement he released via The Trevor Project. "Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I," he wrote, before speaking directly to fans of the series impacted by Rowling's remarks. "If you found anything in these stories that resonated with you and helped you at any time in your life — then that is between you and the book that you read, and it is sacred."

Emma Watson, another member of the core cast from a young age as witch Hermione Granger, turned to Twitter to express her support for the trans community. "Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are," Watson tweeted, before adding a second tweet reading, "I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the world see you, respect you and love you for who you are."

Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the Potter films, also responded to Rowling's remarks, becoming the last of the three central cast members to do so. On Friday, Grint issued a statement to the UK's The Times, saying, “I firmly stand with the trans community and echo the sentiments expressed by many of my peers. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. We should all be entitled to live with love and without judgment."

Noma Dumezweni, who played Hermione Granger in the first run of both the West End and Broadway productions of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, responded to Rowling's initial tweets on Sunday with a list of names of transgender activists and individuals. "1. Dear Jo - Marsha P. Johnson. Sylvia Rivera. Indya Moore. Angelica Ross. Tamara Adrián. Rebecca Root. Isis King. Laverne Cox. Caitlyn Jenner. Lily and Lana Wachowski. Trace Lysette. Andreja Pejic. Tracey Norman. Janet Mock. APRIL ASHLEY... etc, etc, Wikipedia..," she wrote, before adding. "2. As I honour mine, and the trans friends in my life. I’ll defer to THEIR LIVED EXPERIENCES, not their erasure. And these are just the WOMEN! There is Magic in listening. This has stories for millennia. I know You Know All this...with love. Nx #TransRightsAreHumanRights."

Bonnie Wright, the actress who portrayed Ginny Weasley, also spoke out on Wednesday via Twitter. "If Harry Potter was a source of love and belonging for you, that love is infinite and there to take without judgment or question. Transwomen are Women. I see and love you, Bonnie x," she wrote.

On Wednesday, Eddie Redmayne, who stars in the Fantastic Beasts films as Newt Scamander, released his own statement on the situation. "Respect for transgender people remains a cultural imperative, and over the years I have been trying to constantly educate myself,” Redmayne said in the statement provided to EW (and first reported by Variety). “This is an ongoing process. As someone who has worked with both J.K. Rowling and members of the trans community, I wanted to make it absolutely clear where I stand. I disagree with Jo’s comments. Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary identities are valid."

Another cast member, Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang, put the spotlight on organizations that support Black trans women. "So, you want my thoughts on Cho Chang? Okay, here goes...(thread)," she began, before posting a thread to various funds supporting black trans people and the Black Lives Matter movement."

The young ones. The adults agree with her because they know they're right.

I edited the post with most of them, it's pretty much everybody excluding Hagrid at this point. Even Johnny Depp, who Rowling had to eat shit for choosing to cast him in the prequels because of the faked wife beating controversy, isn't bothering to speak out to support her.

Rowling choosing to die on this hill while all the people she bent over backwards helping while they drive the daggers in is oddly noble of her. Especially for Radcliffe, who was rumored to be close to being fired between the first and second movies because of how atrocious he was as an actor but Rowling wouldn't have it.
 
It's 900 pages because she's a masterful troll. The trans brigade, desperate for victim points, are going to read every single fucking page to obsessively tweet and vlog about.
Might as well call her the God(ess) of Ruse.

Wow those little shits.

I knew about Emma Watson going all in (and not working out all that well for her), but not the others.

Stephen King syndrome. If you're a publisher, why would you ever risk upsetting an author who shits out guaranteed bestsellers? Just keep telling them they're great and watch the money roll in. The fans love this stuff anyway, it's like how Marvel movies take 2-3 hours to tell a simple story about people in tights punching each other.
 
I'm not at all surprised that all of the young cast members have gone full woketard against JK Rowling; they're all still working as actors (or hope to), and if they want to keep working, they've got to come out against her, and reiterate their devotion to the Woke cause. Plus, they're all of an age, and from similar class backgrounds, that they've been indoctrinated to unquestioningly believe this sort of progressive, identity politics shit since childhood.

Johnny Depp could have--should have-- said something in her defense, but given all the shit he went through thanks to the sociopath Amber Heard before he was finally vindicated, I can't say I blame him for not wanting to enter another controversy.
 
Is it not part of the whole plot that he is not transgender and instead mentally deranged? I remember them specifically differentiating between the two but I have not read the book or watched the movie in years at this point.
In both the book and the film, the FBI ends up IDing Jame Gumb as Buffalo Bill in part by searching the records of hospitals offering sex-change operations for applicants who had been denied because of psychiatric disturbance and who had a history of violence. Jame Gumb's aping of the female appearance and manner is superficial and exaggerated: he wants to possess the power of the female, but doesn't really understand women or see them as fellow humans.

Throughout the book, our heroine is caught between two antagonists who think they love women but are in fact misognyistic: Dr. Chilton, who initially tries to charm Starling but then turns on her after she rejects him, and Buffalo Bill, who has an idealized conception of femaleness but who dehumanizes actual women. As an aside, I think it's revealing of Dr. Lecter's character that he doesn't display any "ordinary" squeamishness about transsexualism. Really, both Lecter and Starling seem to both be pretty humane in their attitudes toward transsexual/transgender people. There's even some empathy expended on Buffalo Bill; Lecter reflects on how barren and horrific his psychological landscape must be.

Anyway, here are some excerpts including the two relatively brief mentions of transsexualism in the screenplay. There's a scene in the book, which wasn't included in the final cut of the film, in which Starling's supervisor argues with a doctor about patient confidentiality and avoiding stigmatizing transsexuals vs. the necessity of identifying Buffalo Bill as quickly as possible.

DR. LECTER
The significance of the moth is
change. Caterpillar into cocoon into
beauty... Billy wants to change,
too, Clarice. But there's the problem
of his size, you see. Even if he
were a woman, he'd have to be a big
one...

CLARICE
(puzzled)
Dr. Lecter, there's no correlation
in the literature between
transsexualism and violence.
Transsexuals are very passive.

[From a later scene]

DR. LECTER
Billy's not a real transsexual, but
he thinks he is. He tries to be.
He's tried to be a lot of things, I
expect.

CLARICE
You said - I was very close to the
way we'd catch him.

DR. LECTER
There are three major centers for
transsexual surgery: Johns Hopkins,
the University of Minnesota, and
Columbus Medical center. I wouldn't
be surprised if Billy has applied
for sex reassignment at one or all
of them, and been rejected.

CLARICE
On what basis would they reject him?

DR. LECTER
The personality inventories would
trip him up. Rorschach, Wechsler,
House-Tree-Person... He wouldn't
test like a real transsexual.

[Later in the same scene]

DR. LECTER (V.O.)
His females will be more crudely
sketched than him males - but he'll
compensate by adding exaggerated
adornments... jewelry, big breasts...
And his tree drawings - oh, his trees
will be frightful...

[Later in the same scene]

DR. LECTER (V.O.)
Billy hates his own identity, he
always has - and he thinks that makes
him a transsexual. But his pathology
is a thousand times more savage...
He wants to be reborn, Clarice. He
will be reborn...
 
It's easier to bitch on Twitter than to actually create something worthwhile.
I mean how else do you think they got where they are? Preying on the empathy of others instead of trying to fix their own lives is what got them here.
Well, it's an given on how lazy they are. But for all their talk of being oppressed, they certainly aren't setting a great example for the next generation of trannies.

...But then again, we could always use a new thread or two.
