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.

Both I'd say.
Does “their” mama enable this travesty by shlepping in 200 pounds of food per day? Who prepares it? Who PAYS for it?
Any plan to help this being must start with separation from mama.
Western civilization deserves to die.
Never understood why enablers overfeed family members disabled by obesity. What are they gonna do?
Hit me? I’ll roll you a bottle of water. Chase me? Good exercise. Crap in the bed? I’ll throw you some paper towels and roll you a bottle of water.
“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.”
I read a completely serious article maybe ten years ago about how silicone breast implants were somehow chemically causing depression and suicide. No consideration was given to the theory that women were expecting a perfect life because of big boobs and fount out different.
England. In a person. Perfect
That person is fat by choice.
Shoveling food through the mouth is a choice
LOL!!!
It’s beyond sad, it’s SICK. We are being forced to live in a Hans Christian Anderson world and I hate it.
Yes, there are books written about this phenomenon.
Is there a normal people hospital anywhere in the world that has surgical tables than can hold that?
Might need a large animal veterinary hospital, like where they do horse surgery.
Agree. Enabling Mum not helping.
Is she insane or is the entire world insane for putting up with this?
Yes.
