"Throwing a major surgery into the mix is not setting someone up for success."
You know what sets a troon up for success? A screaming chink with a big fat wallet. You made it, John! Top of the world!
Is John about to out himself? For the valuable social cachet and you-go-girl tranny affirmation (and $$$) that will immediately come flooding in? In his mind, it would be the nuclear option to take out the Evil Stephen Lynch. "My opponent, Stephen Lynch, is nothing less than Satan. As a young pickaninny engineer and gamedev, I saw him lynch several of my classmates from the nearest hangin' tree. I, on the other hand, am a Transsexual, which obviously makes me the best-qualified canidate!"
