        The first book in this series was about a man who dresses as a woman to kill women.

        No joke here. How do I make this any more absurd than it already is?

          and also it was published before she was an “out” transphobe – although i remember trans people were pointing out her transphobia for years before people started to notice and it became her entire identity

        Robert Galbraith

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath

        Heath experimented with gay conversion therapy, and claimed to have successfully converted a homosexual patient, labeled in his paper as Patient B-19. The patient, who had been arrested for marijuana possession, was implanted with electrodes into the septal region (associated with feelings of pleasure), and many other parts of his brain. The septal electrodes were then stimulated while he was shown heterosexual pornographic material. The patient was later encouraged to have intercourse with a sex worker recruited for the study. As a result, Heath claimed the patient was successfully converted to heterosexuality. This research would be deemed unethical today for a variety of reasons. The patient was recruited for the study while under legal duress, and further implications for the patient’s well-being, including indications that electrode stimulation was addictive, were not considered

        She chose to be this person. Incredible.
