Transphobes be like: "No matter how much you try to reshape it with excessive physical force, or melt it by applying excessive heat, still a slab of raw iron!" (Is there some synonym for melting that could sound "gross"?)

I'm not sure, but you could always make a metaphor. Might I suggest the word sloughing, which is generally used to mean the shedding of dead tissue? Like say, "no matter how hot you work the iron to slough its form-". Though then again, might be a big ask for a transphobe to use a rhetorical device like that.
