A satire site invented a sequel to Moana where the titular Disney character transitions to become a boy and conservatives did not get the joke.

Sounds like you didn’t read the article.

I only skimmed it, but I did read through the satire article. So I just read through the one linked here, and I don't see where you're getting that from. The tiktok doesn't say it's satire in the video either. I don't use tiktok, but from what I can see, the account description doesn't appear when you're just watching the video.

I got that from how you said you’re guessing how this happened, the great joshing opportunity.
