CultureFrankenstein is 'super transphobic and problematic', non-binary director claims
Frankenstein is 'super transphobic and problematic', a non-binary director has claimed.
Jane Schoenbrun, an American filmmaker, said the classic gothic novel written over 200 years ago is 'transphobic' because it is about 'a constructed body', referring to the portrayal of Frankenstein's Monster.
In an interview about their latest project, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, a satirical romantic drama slasher, Schoenbrun said adaptations of Frankenstein are an example of how older horror films feature 'trans monsters'.
They told the Hollywood Reporter: 'This image of the trans monster kept coming up, whether that be Norman Bates or Buffalo Bill or Frankenstein as a constructed body, and there was this lineage of trans people having really complicated feelings about those movies.
'In one sense, those are the places where they saw representations that felt familiar or comforting in some way to their own experiences - but also, those movies are super f*****g transphobic and problematic.'
Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley over 200 years ago in 1818.
It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a monster from different human body parts in an experiment.
Schoenbrun's latest film follows a queer filmmaker who is hired to direct the latest instalment of a long-running slasher franchise known as Camp Miasma before becoming obsessed with an actress, played by Gillian Anderson, from one of the previous films.
Jack Haven portrays the monster in the fictional franchise 'whose legend comes to consume Kris and spark her sexual reawakening'. The film is set to be released in August.
Anderson told Variety the film 'reaches out across the divide' and speaks to 'anyone who feels and identifies with disassociation, the out of body experience, the not feeling part of or included within a framework of societal norms'.
She had a 'panic attack' when she watched a sex scene in the film for the first time.
Anderson said: 'That blood day was pretty serious… just remembering the amount of liquid and how to not drown while shooting the scene… it was a lot!'
Frankenstein is one of the most widely adapted books of all time, with dozens of films, TV shows and theatre productions made throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
In 1935, Boris Karloff famously portrayed the Monster in the Bride of Frankenstein.
Christopher Lee also took up the role of the Creature in The Curse of Frankenstein, which was released more than 20 years later in 1957.
In 1994, Kenneth Branagh directed and starred in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as the young scientist Victor while Robert De Niro portrayed the Monster.
And last year Frankenstein (2025) was released on Netflix, directed by Guillermo del Toro.
It starred Oscar Isaac as Victor and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, the latter of whom was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance.
Mary Shelley was inspired to write the classic novel in part by Fantasmagoriana, an anthology of German ghost stories translated into French.
Her childhood in Scotland and contemporary theories such as galvanism, electricity produced by chemical reaction, and Erasmus Darwin's experiments on spontaneous vitality also played a part.
She had also experienced a nightmare about a student who was mortified after creating a monster made of reassembled body parts.
Earlier this year Schoenbrun was joined in their criticism of the character Buffalo Bill - a cross-dressing serial killer who skins his female victims to make a 'woman suit' - by actor Ted Levine, who said the tropes it used about trans people were 'f*****g wrong'.
Levine, who played the character in The Silence of the Lambs, told the Hollywood Reporter in February: 'There are certain aspects of the movie that don't hold up too well.
'We all know more, and I'm a lot wiser about transgender issues. There are some lines in that script and movie that are unfortunate.'
He added: 'It's unfortunate that the film vilified that, and it's f*****g wrong.'
While obviously the novel predates it... it does sorta line up. Even the part where in a desperate bid for acceptance Frankenstein befriends a blind man only for it to go south when his family see him.

If you really want to make people transphobic vis-a-vis dead bodies, tell them about how sex change operations are practiced on cadavers that are donated to science! Remember that next time someone tells you they're leaving their body for "science".
I don't even know why you'd be mad if you were trans and identified the monster as a tranny allegory. Frankenstein's Monster is a tragic figure who just wants to live and be normal and the world refuses to accept him for being what he is. If anything, I'd expect the trannoids to twist this into an early win for trans rights or something, not a polemic against trannyism.
Because these idiots, much like their views on what makes a woman a woman, only have a basic surface level understanding of media. They don't see themes, just pretty colors and "oh, it meeee!!1!"
His last movie, I Saw The TV Glow, which got a ridiculous amount of press coverage, was also about children.
He really likes to work with kids.
... but it gets better.
I looked up his IMDB and the movie he's working on right now is called Black Hole. Here's the plot summary:
"A group of high school students are afflicted by an STD known as "teen plague" or "the bug." Symptoms may include flaky skin, rash, growing a new limb or turning into a new kind of creature."
Another movie about kids having sex.
It's only a matter of time before he gets officially exposed as a pedo.
Not too long after a film version of Frankenstein reimagined the "right" way according to activists bombed and took a huge chunk of liquidity out of it's parent company?
These people really don't know how fucking whiney they sound - applying their own insecurities on to a story written two hundred years ago by a woman who was driven to write the story after seeing four of her children die; it's a tale of life and death.
Of course this self-absorbed troon wants to dismiss her work as 'phobic. All he has to throw against these superior, memorable works is that they make him and his fellow autogynophiles feel bad.

These gender people who can only interpret classic literature through the lens of sexuality are so emotionally stunted that I'd prefer they not even be able to read so as to spare us all their opinions. The only consolation is they likely got this way by being raped as children, and I'm glad it happened because they are bad people.

Speaking of Frankenstein, I miss gothic horror so much man. Outside of glib facsimiles, the aesthetic has basically entirely disappeared in the modern day. It's especially sad because I find the stories present in Gothic horror so much more appealing than any slop that is put out by the retarded trannies and faggots that make up modern horror
I've sperged about this plenty elsewhere, but anytime someone claims to be "non-binary", it really sets me the hell off. Because I can at least understand the logic (faulty though it is) on being transgender.
As far as I can tell, the only reason you would ever tell anyone you were "non-binary" is because you're looking for reasons to annoy people, like you're one of those weird people who claims to have "systems" of people in your head. It's one of those conditions where there is no reasonable proof of concept. You can say anything you want, and I'm supposed to just hang back and go, "hurr...that sounds right, I guess", and nobody at all is allowed to ask questions.
So in this case, this "non-binary" director is making wild claims for attention, which is the behavior we used to ignore toddlers for.
