== I couldn't work out who said what... ==
== Gender of Lynda Véronneau ==


From Psychiatric evaluation:
This article leaves me confused as to Véronneau's gender at various points in the narrative. Véronneau is first described in this article as a "transgender man" and referred to with he/him pronouns. It is mentioned that Homolka did not consider the relationship homosexual because Véronneau identified as a man and planned to undergo sexual reassignment surgery. However, in a later paragraph their relationship is referred to as "lesbian" (in accordance with the source cited), and the sentence on Véronneau's book refers to "''her'' relationship with Homolka" (emphasis mine). Most news sources I can find refer to Véronneau as a woman and use she/her pronouns, with no mention of the transgender aspect. Did Véronneau revert to identifying as a woman at some point? If so, this should be clarified. --] (]) 17:44, 6 May 2021 (UTC)


//Graham Glancy, a forensic psychiatrist hired by Bernardo's chief defence lawyer, John Rosen, had offered an alternative theory to explain Homolka's behaviour, noted Williams in Invisible Darkness, his first book on the case. "She appears to be a classic example of hybristophilia, an individual who is sexually aroused by a partner's violent sexual behaviour, Glancy suggested."
{{BLP noticeboard}}
Williams later reversed his opinion about her//

The first sentence is hard to follow and could perhaps do with some brackets or something. But if Williams is quoted merely as the source for Glancy's opinion, then we have not been told Williams's opinion, as people often mention opinions they do not agree with in academic writing, meaning that we have been told that Williams reversed his opinion without having been told what that opinion was!

Also, is the ''name ''of the defence lawyer necessary or helpful in that particular place, or does it just add to the difficulty of following the sentence?

I couldn't work out who said what...

From Psychiatric evaluation:

//Graham Glancy, a forensic psychiatrist hired by Bernardo's chief defence lawyer, John Rosen, had offered an alternative theory to explain Homolka's behaviour, noted Williams in Invisible Darkness, his first book on the case. "She appears to be a classic example of hybristophilia, an individual who is sexually aroused by a partner's violent sexual behaviour, Glancy suggested." Williams later reversed his opinion about her//

The first sentence is hard to follow and could perhaps do with some brackets or something. But if Williams is quoted merely as the source for Glancy's opinion, then we have not been told Williams's opinion, as people often mention opinions they do not agree with in academic writing, meaning that we have been told that Williams reversed his opinion without having been told what that opinion was!

Also, is the name of the defence lawyer necessary or helpful in that particular place, or does it just add to the difficulty of following the sentence?
