SS has been all over the media recently. The last time this happened a few years ago it was about his weight loss. Reading between the lines of this and his recent interviews this gender dysmorphia seems to have stemmed from the fact that he used to be obese since childhood. He had gynaecomastia (boy boobs) and potentially also a more typically female fat distribution on his thighs and ass rather than the male belly. Maybe this was a hormone imbalance but maybe that’s sometimes just how it goes. Anyway, he was able to alleviate his feelings of fat shame by explaining to himself that he actually must’ve had a woman’s body and that his excess fat were actually synonymous with the curves of a woman. Hey presto - no longer has to feel bad about being overweight and gay (not my words!) if those parts are female identifying 😂 I swear whoever his therapist is must be laughing all the way to the bank...

You are a better person than me for thinking that it might indeed be some kind of dysphoria: I think it's just a question of being an attention whore and needing to be special.
