He gained a great deal of freedom and enjoyment from Tomgirl a few years ago. I think half of it was a kink and half of it was creating a new identity. It was a symbolic way of him killing the much maligned stripe-shirted naive Chris, and emerging from the flames as a girly boy ready to take on the world. But he was still retarded, autistic and naive, and now looked even more like a sex offender. If anything, Tomgirl has probably made life harder on him. No doubt he will reinvent himself in another stupid way eventually. I think it will continue to incorporate elements of female dress because I'm sure he gets off on it. If he can't have a woman, he can still be the girl of his dreams.
Good way of looking at it. Think of this, too. Now, every town has a Chris, a weird guy who hangs out at the mall, walks around talking to themselves...imagine how the residents of Charlottesville reacted to Tomgirl Chris. The whispered conversations between old folks "That smelly, crazy guy is dressing up like a WOMAN these days, did you see him?" Imagine how the regular mall food courters reacted to that Chris.
