First of all, this person wouldn't be or shouldn't be a candidate for sex reassignment, nor does it sound like he (if merely a TV) or she (if on hormone replacement theraphy) was mentally or emotionally stable enough for it.
Rather than outing the individual for the cheap thrills of breaking a scam, the writer should have dug into the deeper story of this person, why they were so desperate to undergo sex reassignment surgery without following the SOP for a transexual.
Generally speaking to go through sex reassignment, you first have to consult with a psychologist, then begin hormone replacement therapy, and after living for a period of time (a year?) as a 100% female, undergo sex reassignment surgery. The reason this approach is taken is for many men this is a kink, a fantasy/fetish, and to undergo the surgery as well as the hormone replacement means a lot of physical as well as emotional changes one may or may not be prepared for.
The sex drive alone undergoes a drastic change while on hormone replacment therapy, having a "vagina" doesn't restore the male libido. Not to mention, if you have emotional problems, those aren't going to go away overnight. They'll only get worse.
It was a missed opportunity to approach a bigger story, which could have had a greater impact than breaking a story about a scam perpetrated by someone that was clearly emotionally troubled. Should he be fired, no. Not unless something happens to the individual as a result of his outing him. However, he should have been smarter about the whole thing and approached it from a different angle.
