#personal#and oh oh oh oh#so i have a first edition of red dragon from etsy for like. 13 bucks. killed that#and my partners got me the first edition of silence of the lambs for christmas and ohhh this is so cool#i love the weird font size at every chapter i like how big it feels#i love the cover i love the title so much more after reading#i love clarice and ardelia i loved how fucking werid hannibal was#just a weird fucking dude#and my friend and i have been having the MOST interesting conversation during this#cause she’s been getting into video’s dissecting the trans misogyny in the movie#and i’m comparing how it is in the books it’s been cool#especially bc a ton of the gender stuff explicitly saying gumb wasn’t transsexual#and the length the text went to emphasize how usually trans people were like more likely to have violence committed onto them vs into other#vs onto others#etc etc and then i just feel like how in the mr gumb chapters the way it’s explicitly clear that at every level he doesn’t view women as#people and clarice points this out as just another form of misogyny#i mean i have seen the argument of like you think youre trans you’re trans/ im taking ways of identifying ur gender in the 80s with a grain#of salt/ gumb showing eurphoria changing appearance#but i don’t know and maybe this is bc i read the first half last year#and the second half like in the last week or so#but i feel like the text was pretty heavy on emphasizing transsexuals as not violent with the character at john hopkins#FIGHTING to keep them out of the press with gumb and blocking off the fbi#that whole thing where lecter was either lying about the name or the theory and then the name being the lie#and some other in the text evidence but also some of the points im thinking of from the gumb chapters#could definitely be argued angle wise of just being like scary trans women uses other women for their own attempt of beauty while not#understanding what a real women is#i mean either way of intentions WHAT; a bad fucking impact even to today#also insane i finished like the last 80 pages at work and i got interrupted at the LAST two pages#also my heart was fucking pounding during the confrontation im not even kidding 😭
