AJ has spent the last six years trapped in their house, as well as in their own body.
The super morbidly obese 24-year-old can spend 19 hours a day on a mattress in the living room - staring at the same four walls all day.
AJ, who lives in Airdrie, Scotland, is forced to sleep on a pile of pillows while using a special sleep mask because the excess weight compresses the airway.
The biggest fear for mum Sharon is that AJ will stop breathing during the night, so she sleeps beside her child on another mattress.
Even the most basic of tasks require help from Sharon, who has washed AJ for the last six years and helps with trips to the toilet.
"My role at the moment is mother to a giant baby," admits Sharon. "It breaks your heart to see your child like this, it really does."
Isolated at home, AJ relies on two dogs for company because "animals don't judge", having faced cruel taunts from bullies at school and even children on the street.(snip)
Dinner is eaten kneeling at the counter because AJ doesn't like being higher than the worktop.(snip)
AJ, who identifies as non-binary and uses "them" and "they" pronouns has another strong reason for wanting to lose weight.
They dream of having a gender reassignment operation, but doctors warn they might die if they went under the knife.
"My body doesn't reflect who I am because I still have the female attire. What I want now is a mastectomy and a hysterectomy. I want to be me, just me," says AJ.

No need. I’m sure there’s a fold there ...
I have never heard of body parts called "attire". Is she insane or is the entire world insane for putting up with this?
There’s an article on the internet about a man in his 50’s who says he’s a 6 year old girl named stephonie...Soooo,is his body telling him he’s 6 or his mind??? That would mean he is mentally ill,not 6 years old....
If she lost most of the weight, there’s a chance she may decide she likes being female?
It’s a freak show, baby, baby, on the dance floor, it’s a freak show!
So very sad. Mentally illness being enabled on so many levels.
“uses “them” and “they” pronouns”
Why does the word “Sybil” keep coming to mind?
Don’t eat no mashed potatoes,
Don’t eat no buttered scones
Stay away from carbohydrates
You’re gonna look like skin and bone.
I reccomend this...
Obvious question applies.
A Mastectomy may not answer her problems unless she loses weight first. The muscle structure could be removed, but with all the surrounding fat still there, the visual effect would be about the same. Just another fatty mass.
She is under the delusion that some specific procedure is going to magically make her happy. No it won’t. Putting too much faith in a needless surgical event.
That much weight is most likely the result of clinical depression and a badly broken spirit.
Where are my purple sneakers and black pajamas? It might be time.
Wacheeeee
“I want to be me, just me,” says AJ.
No you don’t. You want to erase “me” and be someone else entirely.
Sleepy46 will fly her here and force a U.S. doctor to do it. All at our expense.
Would the doctor even be able to locate what needs to be cut?
