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.
