Honestly, that's why I'm wondering every time. They must have some disorder, a sane person doesn't get THAT fat. But then I guess all their options won't lead to (ignorant) people giving you a free pass to eat more when you're in recovery. It's especially ridiculous because there's pretty exact criteria which they all don't fit. And no, even if not all classification/treatment is perfect, just because you did some gender studies for 10 years without graduating you are not an expert. Even genuinely having the disorder doesn't turn you into an expert on anything that's not related to yourself.  Sorry for the rant, anyway my takeaway so far: it gives them special snowflake victim status (who on earth wants that) and at the same time idiots encourage them to eat more and congratulate them for their "recovery". Because we all now dying from Beetus takes a tiny bit longer than starving yourself. Lazy till the end.
