while this is a psychotic example of anti-trans nonsense, i have literally no idea what discussion can be had about this because it's basically a shock story and i'm going to remove it on that basis. this will ultimately be a case-by-case thing, but in general future stories like this will probably be removed unless there's social significance to them that outweighs the shock value.
