User was banned for boring autism
Post examples of A-logging at its finest in this thread.
Here is one of my favorites. A trans person/femboy (basically a tomgirl but this person thinks this "gender" is original and not at all like a tomgirl) gets extremely bent out of shape over when Chris was embracing his gender identity and wrote this extremely long rant proving how Chris Chan is NOT a true and honest femboy like him. Its pretty amusing that someone got so upset by a 30 year old autistic manchild who craps his pants and just wanted to explore his gender and the roles he played further.
How Not To Be a Femboy
I would like to introduce my next topic by briefly writing about someone I’ve heard of for quite a while. His name is Christian Chandler, colloquially known as “Chris-Chan” around the Internet. Born in Ruckersville, Virginia in 1982 as Christopher Weston Chandler, Chris-Chan has become a sort of Internet village idiot thanks to his highly unusual beliefs and behavior. Discovered by Encyclopedia Dramatica in late 2007, Chris’ antics have ranged from waging thermonuclear war on his virginity, attempting to regain access to a hobby store he was banned from, singing songs about his troubled personal life, and creating amalgamated Sega and Nintendo characters that portray him as the victor over his real-life adversaries.
With the perfect combination of public exposure and highly unusual behavior, Chris-Chan has gone down in Internet lore as the most infamous trolling victim. His unveiling has since given way to an entire community of individuals called the CWCki, a phenomenon the likes of which I’ve never seen before: a veritable common man’s paparazzi dedicated to cataloging and scrutinizing every move of this 31-year old disability recipient in suburban Virgina.
Prior to his retreat from the public eye, Chris’ final saga was one of peculiar intrigue. In March of 2011, Chris updated his PlayStation Network status with a curt declaration of a new identity…”I am tomgirl.” Attempting to concoct a novel term for his identity, Chris merely took the traditional idea of “tomboy” and typecast it onto himself. Such a bizarre course of events has led to endless speculation among his “trolls”: is Chris-Chan gay? Is he transgender? What is he exactly?
Let’s begin with the gay accusation. Remember what I said before about how femboys come in all shapes and sizes? Despite the temptation to label Chris’ homophobic behavior as indicative of a closet gay, the extensive chronicle of Chris’ personal life reveals no evidence of an innate desire for men…simply a uniform and childlike revulsion for homosexuals free of any personal bias. Chris also appears to lack the crippling dysphoria experienced by transsexual women; years of male pronouns, male identity, and male names have not driven him to the point of crushing depression or suicide. So what is Chris, exactly?
Chris exhibits all the traits I’ve extolled in femboys; an appreciation for feminine style, a seeming softer and gentler demeanor, and the desire to present himself as the pursued rather than the pursuer. For all intents and purposes, I view Chris as a bona-fide femboy. Perhaps “tomgirl” isn’t that far off from describing himself after all, we just use different terms to describe the same thing.
But Lord Almighty, does he suck at being a femboy!
It is now we reach the beef of my post: what never to do as a femboy! Chris plays party to what I’ll call the 3 No-Nos of Femboys, and hopefully by example, you can see what never to do once you begin your own femboy self-discovery.
No-No Number 1: Playing with cosmetics like a toy
In the Chris-Chan video “Kaka Makeup Basics”, Chris takes some time to show off his “makeup skills” to his following. Except, there’s really no skills to show at all. He sits there, saying a few key phrases he probably read off beauty magainzes, all while caking makeup haphazardly on his face like a three year old. All while blaring Katy Perry’s “California Girls” in the background, while dressed in some random women’s top that is utterly not befitting of his body type. You’d be forgiven if you mistook this for a clip from an obscure independent horror movie.
Unsurprisingly, Chris’ attempt at expressing femininity falls short. Really short. The YouTube comments for this video are comically critical of his mannerisms and appearance:
"He looks like one of those creepy middle aged 60 year old cafeteria women."
Ouch.
It should be no surprise then, that this image of Chris as the 60 year old cafeteria woman is the first thing that may come to mind when many people picture men in makeup. The reality though, is that when you’re at your femboy best, this should be far from the result.
The theme of my post overall, as you’ll see in a bit, is that femboys never do feminine things simply because “it’s what girls do”. We do it to express ourselves in the same manner that girls do; beautifully, seductively, softly. To look younger, and less flawed. When Chris applies makeup, he’s not doing it to look younger, or to remove the imperfections on his face. He’s doing it because he thinks “lol, that’s what girlz do”. Yeah…don’t do that.
No-No Number 2: Wearing clothes simply because they’re for girls
I often write about how femboys should feel no shame in sporting girls’ clothes. However, what must not be missed is that it just so happens that girls’ clothes are frequently the ones that help us emit that beautiful, seductive, and soft look and identity we aim to deliver. What puts the “boy” in “femboy” is that we’re not afraid to put the male spin on things, hence why I recommend that if you are going to incorporate female wardrobe into your look, always remember to select clothes that fit you best and don’t look ridiculous. Just like women must do themselves. So yes, there is nothing wrong with donning that skirt or throwing on that top. If you can pull off the look. Again, femboys do not do things simply because “girls do it”.
Yet, poor Chris feels as if there’s nothing more to being feminine than, well, mere crossdressing. The fact of the matter is, putting on some random old skirt you got at the Goodwill, and doing nothing else at all, doesn’t make you a femboy. It just makes you a goofy crossdresser.

Total fashion disaster. Does the dentist use that vest when he gets X-rays??
A lot of femboys may worry that people think they’re simply creepy crossdressers. But the fact of the matter is, all but the most bigoted of cranky old men won’t think to judge you twice if you can leave that house and look damn good. At its core, a poorly done crossdress is a complete fashion disaster, in the end, not any different from that big girl who foolishly went with the small girl style, or the old woman who refuses to age gracefully. Most people will give you stares not because you look girly, but because you screwed up at looking girly! Pulling off the femboy look means being feminine and looking good, not looking ridiculous! If you got ‘em, show off those cute smooth legs and show that cute thin figure hugged by those sexy clothes. If you don’t want to be viewed as a creepy crossdresser, never half-ass your wardrobe or your style, and never wear something simply because it’s “girly”. There is so, so much more to it than that. Always pick the style that suits you, and don’t try to be someone you’re so clearly not.
Chris has also circulated many pictures of him wearing bras and panties. It bears mentioning that you probably also have no use for panties or bras. Unless you’re trans and on hormones, at which point you’re already identifying as female to begin with, you have no breasts which need supporting, nor do you want the appearance of breasts on your chest. Panties may be a bit of a grey area for some, given the tight fit of many feminine clothes that don’t lend themselves to boxers, but that’s nothing a pair of briefs wouldn’t solve just as well. Remember, this is a part of your expression, not a fetish for you to secretly get off to as the day goes on while lingerie rubs against you.
Unless it’s got a purpose you can use, be it style or function, you should steer clear of certain articles of clothing, as your goal is to look like a femboy, and not simply act and feel like a girl. Which brings me to the final No-No…
No-No Number 3: Doing your damndest to be “one of the girls”
Another thing that comes to most laypeople’s minds when they hear crossdressing is the archetype of the “nighttime girl.” Chris’ "tomgirl" forum posts are a pretty stark example of this mistaken mindset, and how Chris yet again fails at properly reconciling his feminine feelings. These male-identified men go out at night with “the gurls” in their most borderline fetishistic getup, just aiming to pass as female to everyone at the bar and get that certain thrill that supposedly comes with passing as a girl to unsuspecting strangers. All the while, they pepper their speech with plenty of “hons” and “sweeties”, and rival the most flaming of gay boys in their limp-wristedness. To them, being womanly is more of a character act they play as a hobby, and not a daily identity integral to themselves. If that’s your thing, I won’t judge, except to say that it looks completely ridiculous and has nothing to do at all with being a feminine male.
At our core, we have no innate desire to be identified as female, to be mistaken as female, or to be called girls, because we’re not fucking girls. We’re still males, but we’re feminine males. We still like many of the same things typical boys do: video games, sports, you name it. Absolutely, some of us may be softer in personality and demeanor, mirroring our feminine presentation, but the important part is that this is simply the act of being ourselves. Femboys are not concerned with being one of “the girls”, because they don’t want to be one of “the girls”. There is no orchestration to our identity. We don’t get a rush out of leaving the house crossdressed, and almost all of us would be quite disheartened to be mistaken for a woman constantly. The most important thing you can do as a femboy is simply be yourself.
I do find it rather unfortunate that Chris, feeling the urge to express his feminine side, simply does it all wrong. But with the help of this article, you can explore your feminine self and do it all right. Simply remember the most important thing about being a femboy: You’re still a “boy”! Never, ever do something feminine simply because “it’s what girls do.” Live by that credo, and you will always be your cutest.
