Alternative headline: Public official outed as a pervert who was stalking local women and posting pictures of kids to porn websites to further his "transition fetish". Dude is a fucking pervert.

This is what happens when people are forced to repress themselves in order to fit in with what society says is acceptable.
What they want becomes bad but they still fantasize about it. So the fantasy's become twisted and perverse. If this person was allowed to be who they wanted to be they may not have gone down such a dark path. It really just makes me sad to see things like this.
I completely agree, this is partially why I think "banning" trans people is just shooting everyone in the foot.
Orrrr maybe he's just a sick pervert. I don't think having fantasies about murdering and replacing woman is normal.
That isn't normal. But being raised in the south where you are expected to be the gender you were born with, and then having to suppress your true feelings, leads to associating those feelings with "sick pervert" actions.
I'm not so sure about that. No amount of repressed sexuality makes you write murder fantasies about real local women.
I mean, it's in bad taste to involve real people, especially to post their pictures, in erotic fanfic, but if he never harmed or threatened anyone I don't think that warrants more than taking things down and making and an apology to the people involved.
I certainly wouldn't lump that in with people who actively harm people and maliciously invade people's privacy.
You don't think the woman who was featured in the murder-replacement fanfic wasn't scared when she heard of this? I would say that's pretty awful. She did not consent to play a part in this guys fetish that he shared over the internet publicly.
Dumb fucking take brah
