“I may be fat, but I identify as a skinny person. I’m trans-fat”

“Trans fat” is different from “transsexual,” but there have been several jokes. “I may be skinny but I identify as transfat” was posted on Twitter on November 27, 2014. “I self identify as a fat man but I’m trapped in a skinny man’s body.  I’m #TransFat” was posted on Twitter on June 3, 2015.
   
“I may be fat but I identify as a skinny person. I’m trans-fat” was posted on Twitter by State of Confuzun‏ on March 2, 2017. “Even though I’m pretty skinny, I identify as an obese person…I’m trans fat” was posted on Reddit—Jokes on October 24, 2017.
 
“I’m fat, but I identify as slim. I’m translender” is a similar saying.
   
       
Wikipedia: Transsexual     
Transsexual people experience a gender identity that is inconsistent with, or not culturally associated with, their assigned sex, and desire to permanently transition to the gender with which they identify, usually seeking medical assistance (including hormone replacement therapy and other sex reassignment therapies) to help them align their body with their identified sex or gender.
 
Transsexual is generally considered a subset of transgender, but some transsexual people reject the label of transgender. A medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria can be made if a person expresses a desire to live and be accepted as a member of their identified sex, and if a person experiences impaired functioning or distress as a result of their gender identity.
 
Wikipedia: Trans fat
Trans fat, or trans-unsaturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids, are a type of unsaturated fat that occur in small amounts in nature, but became widely produced industrially from vegetable fats for use in margarine, snack food, packaged baked goods, and frying fast food starting in the 1950s. Trans fat has been shown to consistently be associated, in an intake-dependent way, with increased risk of coronary artery disease, a leading cause of death in Western nations.

If I’m a fat guy, but self-identify as a skinny person, does that make me trans-fat?
