So is Buffalo Bill….
A woman? The reason I’m asking is the definition of a woman seems to be very “fluid” these days.
shareNo, he's something that doesn't even know what he (it?) is. Lecter explains that he's not a true transexual and that he's just trying to fit in somewhere desperately without success....
"Look for severe childhood disturbances associated with violence. Our Billy wasn't born a criminal, Clarice. He was made one through years of systematic abuse. Billy hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual. But his pathology is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying."
But he’s showing what society generally considers to be “womanly traits”, wouldn’t that make him a woman?
shareGo dispute that with Lecter. You wanted an answer, the movie provided one.
shareYeah that wasn’t much of an answer, but thanks for trying.
shareIt was the answer in black and white. Maybe the idea that it wasn't the answer you were seeking has more to do with you than the answer.
shareNaw it all has to do with receiving a logical answer. You tried, kid. I’ll give you that.
shareNothing illogical about it. You have some trans obsession and you're trying to get your fix in the lamest of ways.
shareHow do I have a trans obsession? All I did was ask a question. You replied to me rather quickly so it seems you are the one with the trans obsession.
shareYou have a trans obsession because you're going out of your way to deny the fact that the movie clearly states that Bill is not a transexual but you keep claiming that it's not good enough of an answer. Even to the point that you claim it's illogical. Somehow I think what's illogical here is your trans obsession and not going about it in a mature fashion.
shareExcept the quote you provided doesn’t confirm that. Also the standards of what constitutes a woman seems to have changed between 1991 and now so quotes from the film don’t really answer the question. Please stop trolling
shareSolid answer estcst, never mind this basement troll.
share"Look for severe childhood disturbances associated with violence."
That describes most trans.
"Billy hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual. But his pathology is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying."
That also describes most trans. Maybe Lecter was fcking with her like he did throughout the movie.
There was a lot of self hatred, too. He wanted to become someone else, which had something to do with his obsession with the moth's, why he put them in the mouths of his victims.
