@Gwendolyn OR... is it subtly portraying a man who isn't ready to admit to himself he might be trans? I get that it's probably what you say it is, and I'm probably reading too much into it... but the one part where I'm struggling a bit is whether or not it's definitively laid out as we're meant to laugh AT Roger. If he's trans, he's clearly still in denial of it, but it seems to be more out of fear of ridicule (which Maebot amply provides, unfortunately).
