Good point. Not me, of course. But I would be serious about the 'belief'.
Is McEvoy assuming _wrongly_ believe? Because in matters of
non-essentialist queer theory (alla Sedgwick), no such things: 'bodies don't
really
matter'. So I wouldn't call it a 'dysfunction'. Ditto for Michael Jackson, or
those who believe they are race trapped in the body with the wrong race
('oreo', black outside, white inside). Or that irreverent grandmother who is
age-trapped in a body with the wrong 'teens', and thinks she is one as she
squeaze into them.

If 'wrongly' is taken serious, they become transsexual. Jean Morris, the
renowed Oxford author being one of them. There may be others. With celeb you
never know for sure.
Cheers,
