Trans people slam JK Rowling’s “offensive” new book about a crossdressing serial killer – SBS
J.K. Rowling’s latest book ‘Troubled Blood’ tells the story of a serial killer who dresses up as a woman to kill his victims. It’s been labelled by both trans people and gender studies experts as “offensive”.
Troubled Blood is the fifth book in J.K. Rowlings CormoranStrike series, penned under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
It follows a cold case investigation into the disappearance of a woman in 1974, who is suspected to be a victim of a psychotic male serial killer who dresses as a woman.
Rowlings critics were quick to call out the book as the latest example of transphobia by the embattled author.
Her second book in the series, The Silkworm, has also drawn fury from LGBTIQ+ activists and allies…
