Another thing that is bothering me about these stories, this being the latest example. What sort of people would go to these 'Pumping Parties'?
Seriously, the sort of people who could be that stupid will probably not live out their natural lifespan anyway. They remind me of that guy in Calafornia, in the 70s, who sued a ladder manufacturer after he was electrocuted when he leaned his new ladder against an overhead power line. Or those girls, and there were quite a few, who tried to stick on false eye lashes with superglue.
Yet these are being portrayed as some sort of common occurance. But even more disturbing are the number of these reports, apparently involving transgender people. The girl from London who died in the US a few months ago, after an apparent botched silicone injection. The claim was the person accused of it was transgender!
Don't these people realise, they can easily spot a transgender person by their horns?
