Constructor's Note
You get the sense something is very wrong here.
Thanks to Frisco, Will Eisenberg, Hoyt Arcane, Christopher Adams, Hoang-Kim Vu, and I legit forget who else did test solving for this absolute hell version.
Tips appreciated to help this Texan keep taking estrogen! Warning - puzzles often crass, anarchic, and approaching NC-17 territory.
