'''Crystal Weston Chandler''' is the fictional twin sister of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]. Her role in his fantasy world stems from his long-held desire to have a sibling to play with along with some narcissistic pleasure and [[Tomgirl Pictures|gender identity issues]] with seeing himself as an [[Homos#Chris and transsexuality|attractive female]]. Crystal represents one of the more embarrassing facets of Chris's mind. Since his notions of the perfect girlfriend, the perfect sister, the perfect daughter, and the perfect female self so easily intersect, it is hard ''not'' to arrive at a conclusion involving [[Chris and sex#Incest|incest]].
'''SLGBTQ''' is a [[CWC-ism]] variant of the more common acronym '''{{w|LGBT|LGBTQ}}''', an acronym for "[[Homos#Lesbianism|les]][[Gaybian|bian]], [[Homos|gay]], [[Simonla Rosechu#Evan's response|bisexual]], [[transgender]] and queer". Chris coined his variant on the term sometime in April or May 2017 but did not explain the reasoning behind his alteration until [[May 2017 Facebook posts#Explaining the SLGBTQ|a Facebook post on 21 May 2017]]. He has since used the term consistently in contexts where most people would use the more conventional acronym, cementing its CWC-ism status.


Crystal's origin is depicted in [[Sub-Episode 5]], where she is made manifest by Chris employing his [[anchuent powers]] and [[Heart Torch of Fail]] to split into two ([[pickle|nearly]]) identical beings. Chris and Crystal wear the same [[Chris and fashion|outfits]] and even have the same superpowers, although she lacks her brother's [[heterochromia]]. Throughout her appearances in the comics, characters are constantly noting how attractive she (and, by extension, Chris) is.
The "Q", for the blanket terms "queer" or "questioning", is a reasonably common addition by modern activists.

More notable is Chris's inclusion of an "S" for "[[I am STRAIGHT|straight]]", which he explained as being to welcome non-LGBTQ people "with open hearts".

SLGBTQ is a CWC-ism variant of the more common acronym LGBTQ, an acronym for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer". Chris coined his variant on the term sometime in April or May 2017 but did not explain the reasoning behind his alteration until a Facebook post on 21 May 2017. He has since used the term consistently in contexts where most people would use the more conventional acronym, cementing its CWC-ism status.
