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"
