One of the things Hannibal Lector says to get Clarice to catch him is "what does he do....he covets....so how does he covet....by what he sees".
That sounds like "transgenderism" to me. They go out of their way to emulate these physical characteristics, even to the point of mutilating their bodies to achieve what they see.
Buffalo Bill mutilates others to emulate what he sees, that's the only difference.
If the motive for "trying to become a woman" defines if you're truly a "transsexual" or not, then the definition has no meaning. The motives for all "transsexuals" are messed up and all fall on a sliding scale of mental illness. There's no legitimate, non mentally ill area on that scale for "transgenderism".
When Buffalo Bill dances in front of the mirror with his penis tucked saying he'd "do himself" how is that any different from the countless fetish based motives with modern transgenderism?
I didn't make the rules here. The left says "if you idenitfy as a woman, you are one" and if Buffalo Bill were not a murderer, but were just a quirky guy posting photos of himself on Reddit 100% of leftist Redditors would "affirm" him and would say that he's stunning and brave.
The film makers playing pretzel knots with the script in order to justify why he's an exception and "no true scotsman" thing and people like me calling that out is not a lack of media literacy, it's a refusal to buy into their "when it's convenient determines the definition"
Im going to allow you're reading to fast and missed the distinction. I dont think you did, I think you're unable to parse it. But let's try again in the interest of good faith.
Buffalo Bill DOESNT want to be a woman. Thats almost the entire theme of the movie.
Well yes? He wants to be an MtF transsexual... but rather than cut his junk off & get silicone injections, he chose to make a skinsuit out of real women.
If you define "trans" as someone who wants to self-mutilate? Then I suppose he wasn't one... but there's TONS of MtF trannies with their junk intact... often making p0rn... or so I've been told... 😲

He WANTS to be a transexual.
Which is true of all trannies, that's why they call themselves "MtF" and not "woman".
Yeah I'm back on the illiteracy train.
Your brain might be cooked my friend.
Have you never met a tranny? Or are you, in fact, a tranny?
Those are the only people I know of who have such delusional takes on this subject.
