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

Which people just don't pick up on because they see it coming from a pretty blonde girl (Just from this trailer Kathryn Newton as real!Milly and as the Butcher is fucking killing it acting-wise)

The joke is this movie is when Milly and the Butcher finally have their rematch knife fight we're more afraid for the safety of the huge adult man than we are the little blonde girl Which requires both actors bring their A-game but honestly requires more from Newton than Vaughn

Anyway the thing I was saying about Unfortunate Implications is really just that in both of these movies there's an implication that both characters are, technically, trans women Like, the woman is desperate to change back and the man loves the new situation and wants to keep it

Intensified by the fact that in Freaky he's a murderer I guess you could say it's both negative and positive rep, like the real Milly is arguably a sympathetic portrayal of a woman who suddenly became trans There's even a scene about how she just wants to pee in peace
