I feel Jack being holed up running an asylum makes him understand humans less than your average person on the street. Anything that deviates from his textbook understanding of cultural norms can be pathologized. He’s so surprised and confused at the fairly common phenomenon of inappropriate laughter in grief when he’s a doctor who’s seen no shortage of people suffering loss.
Here he is nearly pathologizing the person he respects most in the world because he has an unexpected reaction. Immediately after seeing a man behave in a way he’d expect from a woman, he doubles down on “men and women react to things so differently!!” He pathologizes HIMSELF for anything he is uncomfortable with or doesn’t understand. He’s like a microcosm of Victorian attitudes towards mental illness and/or deviance from social norms, but when condensed into an individual it tears itself apart.
