Silence of the Lambs
1991
Dir. Jonathan Demme
The Creepy Cross-Dresser trope rears its head again in the world’s creepiest representation of gender dysphoria, Buffalo Bill. A kidnapper and serial killer who deals with his discomfort with his own male body by removing the skin from female victims to then tailor their flesh into a costume, Buffalo Bill’s violence is explained by his affinity for women’s clothing, make-up, and playing with gender while dancing in front of the mirror.
