also a million other characters, but i saw someone arguing silence of the lambs wasn't transphobic the other day so that's on my mind

    I watched silence of the lambs when I was in high-school and the moment I got to the scene where Buffalo Bill puts on the skin suit I was so inexplicably disturbed I immediately shut the movie off. Looking back now thay my egg has cracked, I feel like part of why I was so uncomfortable was my own inherent transness and how perverse that scene was designed to be.
