Can you avoid the transphobic language in the store description?

I know I'm probably p*ssing against the wind here, but...
Can you remove the "as someone who identifies as an attack helicopter" bit from the very start of the store description of the game?
Like, make a attack helicopter dating sim, sure, at this point anything's fair game.
Have the idea inspired by a transphobic meme, whatever, inspiration strikes in weird ways.
Directly invoking the meme in question though? Yeah that's the line that shouldn't be crossed.

(also I hope I won't need to explain why the meme is transphobic, I'm sure anyone can put two and two together by now. Plus it's been explained countless times over the years already, I'm sure if you're still not aware of its implications you can google it)

To reiterate, I got nothing against the existence of the game itself. Only the way it's advertised.

You actually do but you didn't, so I decided to educate myself by looking up Breitbart, the Daily Stormer, Red State, InfoWars, Fox News, and The Blaze's opinion of the matter to form my opinion.

Oops, I just became an alt-righter. My bad.

The alt-right doesn't exist.

The whole "I identify as an attack helicopter" thing isn't meant to make fun of trans people, it's meant to make fun of the "otherkin" whackjobs. Completely separate things. Stop looking for things to be offended by.

Just as a thing as to it not being meant to be about trans people, sadly there are a lot of idiots out there whom use it specifically to goad/mock trans people (not the non binary people, MtF and FtM), its stupid but is a thing (though i also know trans people whom use the meme to joke about the non binary people).

I assumed it was made in jest to the meme and not to insult trans people ofcourse, though I do wonder if it will affect say, Twitch streaming long term as they have a strong "no abuse" policy that might just look upon that use of the meme as a "to the ban pile you go" thing.

It is meant to make fun of the insane PC non-culture according to which you can be anything, as long as you "identify" with it. It should go without saying why it hits the spot and became pretty popular.

Doesn't matter how idiots use things. If someone is going to let those people be the ones who are allowed to define what everything is and means then they might as well just join up with them. I will not be doing that.
