Why do people treat this line as the absolute truth? It's just an opinion of a mental patient who used to have a psychiatrist's license. He's not some omnipotent genius who can diagnose people without ever meeting them.>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...Billy is not a real transsexual. There are three major centers for transsexual surgery... I wouldn't be surprised if Billy had applied for sex reassignment at one or all of them and been rejected... Billy hates his own identity you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual.
>>214867179he is le genius :)don't question it
>>214867179Lecter knew who Bill was the whole time.
Reliable narrator
>>214867179He seems less intelligent when you realise he knew who Bill was the whole time.
>>214867179Still a good movie.
>>214867217did he? I watched the movie years ago,I don't recall that
anyone read the book? what's lit framed like there
It's the opinion of a formerly-licensed psychiatrist. Y'know, one with qualifications...>he's in prison, therefore wrongUh-huh.
>>214867845have you ever been to a psychiatrist? most of them are useless
>>214867179Nobody treats this as the truth as its not even said in the movie.
>>214867883some people do>omg this movie is transphobic it has a transwoman presented as a psycho who wears dead women's skins>no it's not, don't worry the guy isn't transgender at all>why isnt he>the doctor in the movie says so, it must be the truth
>>214867978You have my apologies he does in fact come out with this tripe. Shame because it was probably not a woke take but troons have used it as such.
>>214867179I don't remember him saying this in the film.
