Chris and gender issues -

[homerbeoulve]

G-A-Y.

I don't think Chrissy has gender issues rather he has gender role issues.

IE: he's lazy as fuck and thinks being a girl is a one way ticket to happiness with no effort, just sit back and let the guy do all work.

He's a sexist fuck.

I've theorized, with no proof at all of course (thus the theory part of the statement) that Chris picked up these bisexual to gay tendencies (Mary Poppins being his favorite movie, love of female targeted cartoons like My Little Pony, his affinity for females in general and the adoption of Tomgirlism along with the topics discussed in this thread amongst other things) from his own father. Bob was a Texas born, Alabama educated military guy. But he lost his virginity reportedly at a pretty mature age, listened to jazz, enjoyed gardening, swinging on a swing in his lawn, slept in a different bed than his second wife for years, basically dated, for all intents and purposes, a Korean pastor in his later days for breakfast at Burger King regularly, and in general was the opposite of what a man from his era raised in the deep south and educated in a segregationist part of the country would usually be stereotyped as if he was purely heterosexual. Taken individually a lot of these things don't raise an eyebrow, but add them all together and the amount of sugar in Bob's tank starts to seem very less salty and much more sweet to me.

Damn, I don't know if I believe it, but this is sure is compelling.

It's confirmed: BOB WAS GAY!!!!!!!

I can see it. Between his greatest-generation parents and being raised by television, his idea of gender roles are stuck somewhere around 1955, when girls were expected to be cute and passive and not initiate interactions with guys. All they had to do was sit around and wait for someone to approach them.

...holy shit. Tomgirl is Chris's way of turning himself into his own attraction sign.

He's a bisexual who is attracted to traditional femininity.

See, I don't think that's possible. Chris is very strongly disgusted by men, so I don't think it's possible for him to be homosexual or bisexual.

It is if he's suppressing his homosexuality. He's ashamed of himself.

Really the only time he's been able to comfortably talk about the war within himself over his sexuality is when he was anonymised through his trollsona JenkinsJinkies, where he talked about simultaneously orgasming and vomiting while bottoming for another male.

Yeah, but I don't think he is.

Chris's views on gender are based on, Old sitcoms, and cartoons, mix that with Autism.

Maybe not? Going back to Chris's (theoretical) ideas of gender: if he really does hold really rigid ideas about what girls do/what boys do, it's possible to see him evaluating his own likes and interests and thinking: "Crap. I like things that only GIRLS are supposed to like! But I like girls too! But if I like things that only girls like, that means I must be...a girl? Wait, that doesn't work. Hm. I'm certainly not gay. I must be...a TOMGIRL!"

Instead of considering that the ideas of gender roles he was raised with might be overly restrictive, he simply invents a new category for himself within those restrictions. Confusion/hilarity ensues.

Chris isn't gay. I think its just a bit of "grass is always greener" syndrome going on in terms of gender with Chris.

Yeah I was talking about his sexuality, not his gender, although I understand the two have been used interchangeably in this thread.

How much of a thing is "tomgirl"? I have never heard the term used outside of Chris. Is that because I am under a rock I am unaware of or did Chris co-opt a obscure term to refer to himself.

Does it mean anything different than transvestite? For others, I mean, not for Chris.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Chris made up "tomgirl" himself, by analogy with "tomboy". (which is what he considered his favorite high school/childhood gal-pals) It doesn't have any meaning outside CWCville.

 

[Christ-Chan]

Chris has one huge gender issue (and this is the first time I've ever been able to type this word in earnest): Misandry!

And he didn't even get the term right. It should be like, "sue girl" or something, since it's supposed to be the converse of "tom boy."
