I am making a change to next week's Movie Night choice. I am switching Alien (1979) in for The Silence Of The Lambs after MUCH thought and talking with Wonkers. It has transphobic issues and trans hate is a very real thing. Even though the movie tries to say that Buffalo Bill, the killer, is not trans, that kind of nuance can be missed and as the movie Tucker & Dale Vs Evil showed, perception is really important. I know movies can be a place for discussion but sometimes you have to balance that versus causing hurt. I do not make the decision lightly, I know there were people looking forward to watching TSOTL, I am sorry.

I decided I will take that upset over hurting even one trans person.
