US — Portland, Oregon. Taking the stage at the Funhouse Lounge for the Portland Queer Comedy Festival on Dec 23, 2019, Portland comedian Corina Lucas began lewd comedy set “Skin Suit” with a quip about being “correctly gendered” at a bar. The comedian, who is male and identifies as a woman, then jested about feeling empathy and solidarity with transgender film character Buffalo Bill from the 1991 psychological horror movie classic The Silence of the Lambs. The character is based on the true story of The Butcher of Plainfield, Ed Gein, an American serial killer who so desired to be female that he killed and carefully skinned women to fashion their remains into a full body suit.
“I just watched that movie, Silence of the Lambs. I thought it was pretty good. I did feel bad for Buffalo Bill. Think about it. She’s a poor trans girl trying to make it in the world.
… Yeah people are too mean to Buffalo Bill yeah.
I’m not saying I endorse skinning cis girls to build a woman suit – but I get it. I wanted to kill cis girls for way less than that.“
Ed Gein so obsessively adored his mother Augusta Wilhelmine, a devout Christian Lutheran, that he preserved her bedroom and sitting room in the state she left them in when she died of a stroke. He grieved at her graveside nightly. Eventually, he dug up her head and took it home to shrink. This led Gein to rob other graves to steal body parts of recently deceased women. Not satisfied, Gein escalated to murder. The son of farmers, he skillfully turned women’s heads into death masks, breasts and torsos into vests, legs into leggings, skin into such accessories as purses, and nipples into nipple belts. He also collected female genitalia in a box. “In a daze,” Gein would dance under the moonlight in cemeteries while wearing a woman suit. The crimes were discovered in 1957 when police investigating the disappearance of a store owner last seen with Gein went to his farm and found the deceased woman strung upside-down and dressed like hunting game, with her head in a sack, heart in a saucepan on the stove, and other organs in a bucket. Gein was diagnosed with schizophrenia, which occurs in individuals with gender identity disorder at rates higher than in the general population, as well as with sexual psychopathy. He was institutionalized and died in 1984.
The killer’s life inspired a genre, including such popular classics as Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) and The Silence of the Lambs.
This Tuesday, Lucas shared on Twitter a link to a video of “Skin Suit,” which is also laden with descriptions of the comedian’s genitals, preferred orifices to penetrate on partners, such fantasies as feeding children “t*t milk,” and snippets of his sexual journey from Catholic schoolboy to coming out to conservative parents as gay, and then bisexual, transgender and, most recently, polyamorous. The comic was incensed that a flood of women responded to the YouTube video and tweet with criticism at how the comedy set makes light of male violence against women, the ever-present threat of male violence that hovers over women’s and girls’ heads like a somber cloud, and social gaslighting that portrays perpetrators as justified and relatable.
Lucas tweeted. Lucas reacted with the tweet: “A shame that TERFs are busy doing TERFy things when what they SHOULD be doing is sucking my girl d**k.” (TERF is a hate slur against women who do not share the faith-based belief that a human can change sex.)
FBI data reveals that men comprise 89% of all serial killers, and women make up 70% of serial killers’ known victims.
It is possible that Lucas, being male, does not understand the cloud of perpetual caution women and girls worldwide must live under, being at the mercy of a population that is physically stronger on average and statistically has a far greater propensity toward physical and sexual violence. A woman or girl who relaxes and drops her guard for an instant and becomes prey to a man’s sexual or physical violence is said by society to have sought or deserved it. Simultaneously, society downplays the responsibility of a male perpetrator by portraying him as sad, unstable, sexually frustrated, or provoked by an annoying woman, and thus, a victim of his uncontrollable compulsions.
More likely, Lucas notices women’s universal plight, and benefits from the terrorism and suppression of women, and has chosen to contribute to it. Even while demanding women respect the ‘female’ identity of men who perceive of themselves as ‘transgender women’, Lucas emphasizes that any physical or sexual violence meted out against women by these individuals is as understandable and justifiable as any other male violence toward women. Lucas reverses blame by shaming women who call out this contribution to the culture of terror and silencing as the true oppressors – TERFs – and sticks-in-the-mud unable to take a joke.
It would spark international outrage if a woman told ‘jokes’ about murdering individuals who identify as ‘trans women’ – particularly if these ‘jokes’ suggested and justified murder methods actually used by killers against the demographic, and if the woman making the ‘jokes’ was known to not be a believer in gender identity ideology (a post-modernist faith that proposes humans can identify their way into the other sex).
When Troubled Blood, a book by children’s author J.K. Rowling, was recently released under her pen name Robert Galbraith, it was revealed that a serial killer in the book dresses up one time as a woman to abduct a victim. This was presented by many transgender-identifying individuals and their allies as proof of Rowling’s ‘transphobia’. English journalist, presenter, and transgender activist Paris Lees complained that the story is inappropriate, given that “over in the real world” trans-identifying individuals are killed in Brazil without justice. It is unknown how murders of transgender-identifying prostitutes in Brazil relate to a fictional serial killer who wore a disguise once, particularly given that women in Brazil’s dangerous sex trade are murdered at a much higher rate. However, the connection is clear between Lucas’s “Skin Suit” and such real-life depraved killers as Donna (né Douglas) Perry – who secured a place in women’s prison after murdering prostituted women for having reproductive female biology he envied – or Ed Gein.
Over here in the real world, Corina Lucas, women are being killed, and some male individuals of your demographic have carried out some of the murders for precisely the reason you specify in your ‘jokes’. That is no laughing matter.
A source who worked at the Funhouse Lounge told Women Are Human:
“I was kicked out of the troop for refusing to go along with the Woke s**t and not finding stuff like this funny. I was just on the phone with the owner yesterday explaining to him that he may have some angry women on his hands. He dismissed it and said that Corina’s material was ‘interesting.’ I worked for nearly three years at Funhouse watching the owner let more and more people get away with encouraging violence, always to lean back on, ‘I don’t censor my entertainment.’ As soon as I made fun of the non-binary nonsense, he censored me. My recommendation is to go to the Funhouse Lounge Facebook page and leave a review since they allow you to. Corina is one of several ‘comics’ in town that use Funhouse as their preferred church to mission their hate. The Portland Queer Comedy Festival isn’t a comedy festival or in any way an LGB event. It’s a gender propaganda convention with free joints.“
