Ian Brennan: and I'm ryan murphy
Murphy: and together we're
Murphy: no wait I'M ryan murphy
Brennan: no no you're ian brennan
Murphy:
Murphy: ok wait i prepared for this
Murphy: [looks at hand, on which is written 'You are Ryan Murphy']
Murphy: ok horror fans so it's me
Murphy: reasonably sure i'm ryan murphy
King:
Poe:
Barker:
Lovecraft:
Koontz:
Murphy: look this isn't easy for a man without object permanence, okay???
Murphy: you know me as the man behind classic horror shows like American Horror Story and ratched
Murphy: cuz you know nothing is scarier than perfectly coifed 1950s ladies with fire engine red lipstick
Murphy: this time i'm tackling the ed gein story
Murphy: so i'm real excited for some perfectly coifed 1950s ladies with fire engine red lipstick
Murphy: so anyway we invented a made-up trans backstory for ed gein
Murphy: but don't worry
Murphy: we were real careful to make sure it's not transphobic
Murphy: you can definitely trust me, the creator of nip/tuck, to handle this topic sensitively
Murphy: or my name isn't ian brennan!
Murphy: no wait i mean ryan murphy
Murphy: what if we had Christine Jorgensen tell ed gein he has autogynephilia?
Thomas Harris: ho ho ho ryan my boy you've done it again!
Murphy: actually i'm ian brennan
Murphy: no wait
Murphy:
Murphy: yeah actually that's right I'm ian brennan
Murphy:
Murphy: …or am I???
Murphy: now i may not have object permanence or the ability to retain memories in any shape or form
Murphy: but one thing i know for sure is that the only way to stop the autogynephiles
Murphy: is to require prolonged psychological assessment to determine whether someone is pretty enough to transition
Murphy: that's how you tell the trans apart from the autogynephiles by the way
Murphy: like, we need to keep transition behind a metaphorical gate
Murphy: and psychiatrists could, like, keep that gate
Murphy: almost like gatekeepers
Murphy: medical gatekeepers
Murphy: this is gonna go over real well
Koontz: what's autogynephilia?
Murphy: it's like being trans except evil
Murphy: it's a very scientifically sound and not at all debunked theory
Koontz: wow, i'm learning so much!
Barker: actually dean you're not
Barker: you're actually dumber now for hearing this
Koontz: who's Christine jorgensen?
Franz Kafka: she was the first trans woman to be widely publicly known in the US for undergoing a sex change operation
Kafka: she went on to be a famous actress, singer and trans activist
Koontz: wow, franz!
Koontz: you sure know a lot about her!
Kafka: yeah well i just think she's interesting

I wanted to comment on what I liked in the story, but I just hate Ryan Murphy and every show he's ever done so very much that that's all I can think about.
