(On the flip side, that's also why in Freaky, the serial killer reveling in the fact that he's now in his intended victim's body because it makes his job so much easier, while it makes for a more compelling film, also has Unfortunate Implications)

Please elaborate on these Unfortunate Implications.

It's the stereotype people have of trans women as predators in sheep's clothing?

Ah, I completely missed that. I thought you were implying that existing gender stereotypes would make it easier for one gender to behave in a predatory way, but that's my own history asserting itself in my interpretation.

Again, it is really striking how the Butcher becomes a Hollywood femme fatale like *immediately* upon entering Milly's body

It's that inaccurate idea about how sociopaths are "natural predators" who can instantly adopt any disguise that helps them hurt people I mean again he spent like 50 years as a cis man who apparently didn't go out much or have any friends

It seems like there'd be more of a learning curve before he shows up rocking the high heeled boots and seductively putting boys' fingers in his mouth and whatnot

Admittedly I like the joke that when he stops just vamping and tries to pretend to be Milly for real he's terrible at it Like all of his attempts to play the damsel and scream for help or beg for mercy have this obvious air of withering sarcasm

It's funny because all of this almost comes off as an artifact of the original FREAKY FRIDAY novel Where unlike in all the film adaptations, the mother intentionally instigated the bodyswap with her daughter through a mechanism she never explains, and gets a makeover in her body

And the daughter, who was always kind of frumpy and not very good at femininity, is astonished to find that after her mother changed everything about her appearance she is now considered a "hot chick"

Ha ha yeah Later adaptations played this down because they wanted the mom to be a victim too who also needs to change But the TV movie adaptation I saw still has a line to that effect "What did you do to my hair?!" "I brushed it"

Hair is much tougher to get to look right than makeup, which can be achieved with patience, the right kind of makeup and tools, and Youtube videos. I think it's funny that they decided "brushing" is all that was needed.

The one I'm thinking of is the 1995 Disney Channel movie with Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffmann Where she really did have long, straight hair that didn't need to have much done to it, it took some effort to make her look "bad" in the "before" version where she has permanent bedhead
