Why do hons got so offended by the character of Buffalo Bill and claim it's transphobic?
I get they don't like the inevitable comparisons and how videos of themselves have a natural tendency to go well to "Goodbye Horses" but he's not even a transgender character.
It's just silly.
If you even paid the slightest bit of attention to the movie or the novel you'd know he's not transgender. For fuck's sake, it was a key point of the movie.

Yeah, Jodie Foster says something about how the trannies she fucks are "generally passive", and Anthony Hopkins explains that Bill isn't a real tranny, just an AGP.
What you're saying is true, but unfortunately there's a lot of people who aren't intelligent enough to see anything "EW ALL TRANNIES ARE BAD" from it. Nuance is lost on those people.

Because audiences are stupid and still associate the two despite that.

The novel is outright ironic. The investigators go to a surgeon wanting a list of all the people he denied SRS to, and he doesn't cooperate out of fear that trans people will get hit with backlash once the case hits the media.

For Allah's sake it's a movie no one is forcing you to watch it

wtf? i consider silence of the lambs an interesting murder mystery which makes a clear distinction between the cross-dressing serial killer it features and the experiences of legitimate transgender woman in real life now.
