Did either legitimately have a profoundly negative impact on the trans community? That is an actual question by the way; maybe they did, I don't know for a fact that they didn't, but I have to say I haven't heard many people legitimately scared that actual transwomen are going to start Buffalo Billing women.

I think it all boils down to if the story has merit. Psycho made perfect sense, for example. I think both films raised issues on mental health, rather than being transphobic.
Does JKR's new story have merit, i guess that's the question.
Judging on what she said previously, i don't get the big deal, it's outrage overload, as you said.
