Having actually read the latest Strike book, there is nothing about transgender people or even cross dressers. There is one minor character who uses a variety of tricks, including disguises, to trap his victims, but it has nothing to do with anything trans.
What it does do is paint an expansive picture of the pervasiveness of violence against women, and the ways that performing hyper-femininity can superficially help women feel safe, while at the same time trapping them. It needed a more ruthless editor, 900 pages was just too much, but probably my favourite of the Strike series since the first one.
