I honestly didn't think he'd take my suggestion seriously. But I did mention in another post somewhere that I don't believe Chris to be truly trans only because Chris is a simpleton and doesn't understand gender and sexuality. His understanding of the subject is very stereotypical. He sees men as big mean brutes and women as delicate petite flowers. In Chris' mind being a man is too hard for him so when someone suggested that he could be a tomgirl he ran with it because being a woman is a lot easier in his mind. And it just kind of went from there.
I agree that Chris is not trans but is simply trying to take what he thinks is the path of least resistence that in his twisted mind will allow him to lead an easy life. That such co-opting for the lazy path should include a sex change is baffling to anyone rational but to Chris it makes sense because he's, well, Chris.
I should also like to point out that odds are he decided to assume himself as trans because these days trans issues are receiving a lot of attention. I doubt he would go around dressing up as a girl before it became socially accepted to have a trans identity. In other words, he is riding the tailcoats of real transsexuals in order to act like a creep without being called out on it. He heard about this 'trans' thing was now 'cool' so he figured he too could be a part of it, somehow.
