FULL TITLE: It's political correctness gone Psycho! Remake won't show the killer cross-dressing in a shower scene in order to avoid 'transphobia'
It is the chilling moment from the classic film Psycho that once seen can never be forgotten.
Deranged motel proprietor Norman Bates, dressed up in his mother’s clothes, launches a murderous knife attack on a defenceless guest in the shower.
But now the scene from the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock thriller starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh has been remade, but with a crucial difference.
Bates is no longer wearing women’s clothes – for fear of damaging the image of the transgender community.
This is despite the fact he wears his mother’s dresses at other moments in the series.
It is the climatic episode in the fifth and final season of US television series Bates Motel starring British actor Freddie Highmore as Norman Bates and singing superstar Rihanna as his intended victim, Marion Crane.
There are too many people with multiple personalities (caused by childhood sexual abuse) in the PC crowd.
