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”.
