I've met two people like that IRL, and truth is they had so many other issues going on there was no way to tell. It's not like they appeared to go through any of the typical reasons someone might "suddenly" realize they are trans, such as c-PTSD / repression / etc.. Instead they were among other things mildly (?) schizophrenic. From what I recall, the problem with schizophrenics is that their expressed reality is so fluid that it's hard to nail down if they even have a solidified sense of Self sometimes. And, schizophrenia doesn't necessarily preclude *also* being trans. Not being a qualified assessor, and only having read and seen their videos, I really couldn't say one way or the other. But really, is there any harm in respecting someone's professed identity even if it doesn't turn out to be particularly stable?
Thanks for answering. I find it very interesting to speculate if Chris Chan is trans or not. I've googled it, but I only got results for very trolling sites. I'm kind of scared to ask in transgender forums because they'll probably think I'm a troll. I think Chris Chan needs serious help. A lot of what they say is very incoherent.
Interestingly I used to speak incoherently when I was a kid. I just said things because I felt like it or liked the sound of it. Even if I didn't know the meaning of it.
I don't remember when I became aware that I sometimes said things that didn't make sense. I knew by the time I was ten. When I was trying to write songs when I was ten I kept thinking of gibberish lyrics. It really frustrated me.
