Of course theres something transgender about his self-hatred, the performance of masculinity and the hatred of said performance, but I'm not under the illusion that a transfemme reading actually fits that well, since his hatred of his performance of masculinity and the masculine world around him isnt accompanied with an interest in femininity or anything or any other type of living. He simply isnt aware of another type of living. His only interest in women is either 1. Sex and murder, or 2. Finding out if they actually are as stupid as everyone around him believes and as he needs to believe for his mask. Of course he cant find that out as he only really measures his own metrics for intelligence or interiority, but he does respect somewhat the only woman who seems to have an ounce of an idea of what he is (a dangerous man who knows hes dangerous).
