She was clearly building his back story and his weird relationship with women and how it began. He wasn't trans, he was a crazy serial killer who wanted to kill women. This is a crime novel, it isn't a new idea

Why is it "problematic" for her to try and please the LGBT community?, surely that's a good thing, even if it was with clumsy attempts. And doesn't her clumsy attempts kind of show that she is in fact a genuinely nice woman who doesn't really want to upset or hurt people and therefore maybe, just maybe the only reason she is going against the party line this time could be because she is genuinely concerned about women's rights and issues between the two that may clash or be incompatible with each other? I mean do you really truly believe that she's just an evil woman who hates trans people for the sake of it?
