Do any of the proponents of the "Lars is trans" hypothesis actually know anything about transgenderism? Are they familiar with gender dysphoria and its manifestations? Do they know what's involved with gender reassignment surgery, its complications and what it can and cannot accomplish? Have they spent any time with the DSM-IV to insure that their hypothesis has some actual grounding in medical reality?

From what I see of Lars he seems perfectly comfortable with his masculinity and heterosexuality. He's shown no discomfort with his assigned gender and has openly expressed sexual interest in women exclusively. The only insecurities Lars has shown is with his acceptance by the Cool Kids. Besides, most of his insecurities seem to have disappeared since his resurrection on Homeworld.

Transgenderism is a medically recognized condition with specifically defined characteristics allowing its diagnosis. Anyone who wants to posit the hypothesis that Lars is trans has to account for these characteristics in Lars' behavior.
