Might not have gotten that bad. Chris's delusions are pretty much coping mechanisms for the state of his life. And his life quality went downhill after Bob died. He was the one who ran the household and finances and enabled Chris to live comfortably. If Bob had survived the Financhu Crisis wouldn't have happened, which was one of the stressors that lead Chris to snap and pursue his delusions.If Bob were the living parent, would any of the dimensional merge stuff fly with him? I don't imagine Chris trooning out would, but Bob let Chris' delusions fester like Barb has?
He slashed his taint because he wanted his own vagina to play with. Dysphoria and delusion aren't mutually exclusive, a person can have both.Chris carved up his taint because he thought he would get one step closer to China. I'm of the opinion Chris doesn't actually have dysphoria in a traditional sense, he's gone on record saying how pleased he is with himself, how he's definitely not a fat fuck, how strong he is. Not dysphoria just delusion.
If they're uncomfortable about Chris they might be trying to distance themselves from him and don't want to admit they have something in common with him.I know a lot of actual trans people who lead normal lives, and while most of them are pretty uncomfortable talking about Chris they all agree that Chris isn’t trans. I do find it interesting that most of my trans friends at one point in their life tried to over adjust for their birth gender shortly before coming to terms with their gender identity. For example a period of hyper femininity a few months before coming out. It could be very easy to confuse Chris’ weird ego driven gender norms and ideas of masculinity with dysphoria based on an assessment.
Looking at how the DSM summarizes gender dysphoria, I'm not seeing how Chris could be excluded from it. He matches the symptoms and there doesn't seem to be exemptions for his notions of gender. https://www.theravive.com/therapedia/gender-dysphoria-dsm--5-302.85-(f64.9)
