We’re so done with scary trans villains and monsters – or are we? Cáel Keegan explains why we might be able to learn lessons about trans liberation from Buffalo Bill and why The Silence of the Lambs, upon its release, was actually protested for homophobia. Cáel speaks about transfixing and spellbinding media, from The Matrix to Buffy to video games. Dark Willow makes an appearance. Not to be missed.

- Why is Cáel so interested in mass media? What can we learn from widely received stories – even, or especially when, they’re problematic?
- Cáel explains how we can take care of difficult texts or even diffuse them like bombs. What does this mean? Did either concept resonate with you?
- What is cisgender realism and which theorist is Cáel building on with this concept?
- What is your favourite scary queer text and why is it Carmilla?
