Mulaney's body is such that he can be dysphoric either because he looks like a man or because he doesn't. Could be either the rage of Caliban seeing himself in the mirror or the rage of Caliban not seeing himself in the mirror. He looks like an overgrown flapper en homme. He doesn't like his 'feminine' hips with the preposterously high waist, but he also doesn't like his NBA-bait wingspan. He works out, but not in any way that could masculinize his body to his own eyes. So yeah... definitely closeted trans lesbian energy. I doubt he's gay, or even bi. If he were, Nick Kroll would've probably closed that deal in 2005.
I feel like that's spillover from Tina Fey, like there is an essential Lizness that is separate from the Feyness, but that's a distinction I made up from whole cloth and cannot defend

also his wife just called him a "Patagonia cover boi" in her Instagram, so...
That does explain all the references to blood in the Epistles...

Also, Liz Lemon is actually John Mulaney's pre-transition identity, fight me
Liz Lemon is a gay trans man though. Mulaney is *definitely* into girls.
IS Liz into men, though? I mean she is deeply ambivalent about the physicality of men and outright horrified by their masc rituals, see also: Mulaney
Very into men, very back-and-forth about sex
As long as she can top them, it's tolerable.
Let's put it this way: she is more repulsed by women than by men.
