It's always been interesting to me how Chris shows people his anger and capability of violence. With Clyde, it was beat up a toy of a clown. With Adam Stackhouse, it was shooting a picture of him with a toy gun. In his comics, it was killing people in extremely bloody, violent ways. Then with Barb...humping a pillow. The violence/fighting aspect could have been learned from TV, like so many other things he believes; but where did he learn that threatening one's mother with rape is okay if you're mad at her?
Anger and sex are closely tied together in the male brain.
(Just one recent example:

Could it simply be the case that Chris is giving an Honest and instinctive reaction, because thanks to his autism he has less of a filter?
(Of course the only source for that story is Chris himself. Chris has proven himself to be an unreliable narrator, but is there any reason to believe he might be straight up lying here?)
That's not uncommon in. That's the age where children identify with the same-sex parent, which is why I highly doubt Chris has actual gender dysphroia. This is not a gender sperging but developmental sperging. Despite what AGPs like to tell, you preschool is the age where same-sex identification is solidified. This is why you see so many effeminate males from single parent mother only homes. Chris' problems seem to be more developmental in nature.
Not so much as a subverted woman, and more of a eunuch. Preschoolers (males) often have a fear of castration according to Freud. And according to both Erikson and Freud, if you don't conquer and excel at certain developmental milestones, you will exhibit more dysfunctional traits associated with those milestones.
I completely agree on Chris being neither homosexual/transsexual or having gender dysphoria.
(He has never shown any unprompted sexual attraction to males, and to this day seems weary of male homosexuals. Note also the straight S in the “SLGBT” that Chris promotes.)
It’s also important to point out that Chris, when claiming to be a woman, doesn’t really put himself in a “subservient role”.
Chris has numerous times expressed a belief in women somehow being “stronger” than males (besides kinder, gentler and more agreeable of course) and overall being “the stronger gender”.
This most likely hails back from his childhood and the particular parental dynamics in the Chandler household.
Barb was probably more hands-on in her parenting than Bob was. Note for example that during the infamous “lumberjack” call, Bob threatens Chris with waking up Barb to tell her what’s going on. Something Chris tries hard to avoid.
