That's more a body dysmorphia thing than specifically a trans thing. For instance, I hate seeing myself too, and I'm just fat, not trans. I disapprove of the appearance I have, and dislike being reminded of that. Yes, I'm working on it.

He's a completely out of shape incel, so that's a possibility. Considering everything else, he seems deep in the closet. He started mentioning trans stuff all the time before he found out that my sister is trans, which caused him to have an existential crisis, because he was obsessed with her and trying to get her to date him. He also has a creepy latent obsession with Russian women. He constantly talked about other trans women and joked about dating them and went through an entire hypothetical situation of introducing a specific trans woman he was obsessed with to his family.
