"Fake news" is not a real thing.
This also isn’t the first time Rowling’s anti-trans opinions have found their way onto the pages of this particular series. In the second Cormoran Strike book, The Silkworm, a woman named Pippa stalks detective Strike before attempting to stab him. Strike traps her in his office, revealing her identity as a trans woman, with Rowling adding in a description of her Adam’s apple and hands. The detective then tells Pippa that prison “won’t be fun for you.… Not pre-op.” (Rowling’s representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

Troubled Blood, the latest in Rowling-slash-Galbraith’s Cormoran Strike detective series, is a 944-page tome in which the killer, Dennis Creed, is described as a cisgender man who occasionally dresses as a woman—sometimes, to get closer to his victims. His propensity for donning dresses and jewelry is framed as both fetishization and the result of trauma, playing into two of the most common and pernicious notions about people who break from traditional gender “norms.”
As critics of the novel have already noted, the trope of cross-dressing killers has a long and sordid history in pop culture. (Think: Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, et al.) The notion is prominent enough that the Netflix documentary Disclosure, which explores media depictions of trans people, devotes an entire segment to it. Laverne Cox, one of the primary speakers in the doc, has condemned Rowling’s remarks, as has Cynthia Nixon, who has a trans son. Beyond the offensive implication that transgressing gender mores somehow correlates with violence, these depictions also serve as a back door into denigrating trans people.
Rowling portrays villain Dennis Creed’s habit of wearing dresses as a guise that masks the violent monster underneath. His effeminate tendencies cause some people he encounters to believe he is gay—which can feel further reminiscent of the homophobic arguments of the 1970s and ’80s, which cast gay people as predators similarly to how anti-trans movements now frame trans people. Rowling’s protagonist Cormoran Strike says at one point that Creed’s victims “had been hoodwinked by a careful performance of femininity.”
But most harmful are the passages that mock Creed using the language of transphobes. There’s a fixation, at times, on Creed’s ability to “pass”—including an entire retrospective on a doctor’s office debating whether an unregistered patient was a “lady” or a man in a dress. The book frames Creed’s interest in women’s clothing as the result of abuse he suffered as a child, and casts him as a voyeur who uses the cloak of womanhood for his own twisted purposes—again, pernicious anti-trans tropes.
...
In June, after firing off multiple transphobic tweets, Rowling complicated things further by revealing that she is a domestic-abuse and sexual-assault survivor. She framed her fear of trans people invading “women-only” spaces as the logical result of this trauma, despite the fact that such fears have been thoroughly debunked. (It’s worth noting that homophobes and racists have also adopted bathrooms as battlegrounds in the past.)
Rowling also claimed to worry about young girls who she said transition to escape misogynistic treatment, only to detransition later on. (A laughable notion to anyone who has caught even a glimpse of the treatment trans people often receive, even before one notes that detransitioning is far less common than some coverage has suggested.)
...
It also doesn’t help that Rowling has engaged in even more directly transphobic language in a past Cormoran Strike novel. As PinkNews notes, the second in the series, The Silkworm, portrays a trans woman as “unstable and aggressive”—playing into the transphobic notion that trans women are somehow unable to suppress violent masculine tendencies.
The character, Pippa, stalks Cormoran Strike and eventually tries to stab him—and once the detective traps her in his office, she is revealed as trans, as Rowling describes her Adam’s apple and hands while Strike says prison “won’t be fun for you… Not pre-op.” (Troubled Blood, too, makes mention of Dennis Creed’s “large hands” in contrast to the wig and dress he wears as drag.)

Сиреч вярваш на всички новини по Fox News и тем подобните?"Fake news" is not a real thing.
Щеше ми се да беше коментирала: "You know that characters are fictional and not everything they say matches exactly the views of the author?".The detective then tells Pippa that prison “won’t be fun for you.… Not pre-op.” (Rowling’s representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
После се оплакваш, че ние сме търсели под вола теле. И то не е като такива подмятания за prison rape да не са под път и над път и при не-транс герои, което е дразнещо, но не е признак на трансфобия само по себе си.Or, you know, the manphobic notion that violent tendencies are masculine only? Бърже да пускат и статия на тема "Роулинг мрази мъжете!!!1".It also doesn’t help that Rowling has engaged in even more directly transphobic language in a past Cormoran Strike novel.

Тоест е трансфобско да има транс жена, която се ядосва и става агресивна? Защото това означава че е мъж, ПОНЕЖЕ САМО МЪЖЕТЕ СЕ ЯДОСВАТ И СТАВАТ АГРЕСИВНИ. АКО СЕ СЛУЧИ НА НЯКОГО, ЗНАЧИ ТОЙ Е МЪЖ. Това не са ли вредни полови стереотипи, целящи да натикат жените в ролята на кротките, стабилни, никога агресивни, винаги търпящи и контролиращи емоциите си? Щото аз мисля, че са. И съответно да покажеш (транс) жена като избухлива и нестабилна не означава да кажеш "тя всъщност е мъж", а да покажеш, че е човек.t also doesn’t help that Rowling has engaged in even more directly transphobic language in a past Cormoran Strike novel.

Темата май вече не е за книги.
Това не е сериозно. Твоята собствена статия казва "likely a coincidence", човекът, който изобщо е преоткрил въпросния терапист казва, че Роулинг очевидно не е ползвала това за вдъхновение.... и това е търсене на теле под вола? Втф?
wtf 2-ри път?
Fair enough. Същевременно ако сме стриктни в тази логика, е доста вероятно да се наложи да изтрием 3/4 от наличната по света литература заради някой образ, който енфорсва вреден стереотип и води някъде някога до жертви, било то домашно насилие, самоубийства от любов или алкохолизъм. В смисъл нека все пак да има спектър от Майн Кампф до тоя роман.Roland wrote: Казват ти хората “тия неща са код, в живота си постоянно се сблъскваме с тях”, но не.

За това има доста повече основания в книгите за Корморан Страйк, ако решиш да търсиш такива неща и караш по идиотския принцип "възгледите на героя са възгледи на автора". Почти няма положителни образи мъже, дори и главният герой Страйк е в голяма степен мизантроп и се държи отявлено грубо доста често. А другият главен герой в поредицата е жена, която е практически светица. Вече във втори роман от поредицата има сериен убиец мъж, който е тотален мизогинист, психопат и изнасилвач, ама никой не пуска статии за harmful stereotypes against men.
Това е наистина безспорно доказателство, само отявлен трансфоб би написал такава сцена, която е съвсем не на място за подобен род роман. Щеше да е къде по-реалистично, ако Страйк беше благодарил сърдечно на транс жената, опитала се да го наръга с нож и бе праснал една лекция как в случая е виновно обществото и ширещата се навсякъде трансфобия, а не тя и след това я бе почерпил с най-хубавото си уиски и накрая пуснал да си ходи по живо по здраво.Roland wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 5:46 pmМеждувременно, от Vanity Fair:
