Sylvana, a prominent example of a "hermaphrodite"

Hermaphroditism is the biological condition where an organism possesses reproductive organs and/or gametes of both sexes. The term was also once used to refer to people who were intersex.

Chris, however, specifically applied the term "hermaphrodite" to refer to any person that he perceived as being "female", but with a penis and secondary female sex characteristics (such as breasts). This included transgender women that hadn't received bottom surgery, as well as intersex people that he perceived as being female. In essence, Chris used the term the same way some people would refer to such people as "shemales", "dickgirls", or "futa".

Chris similarly used the term "intersex" to refer to the same thing, using the term on himself when he began transitioning, as well as for the characters Rosechu and Sylvana, both of whom had penises at one point or another.

Understanding of Biological Sex

Like with a lot of other things, Chris's understanding of trans and intersex people came from the media he's watched. His initial understanding of such concepts mirrored those of many other people during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Chris had seemingly conflated transgenderism with intersexuality, believing that both terms referred to the same thing.

This is apparent when he called Bailey Jay a "hermaphrodite", and compared the discovery of her being transgender to scenes from "The Crying Game" and "The Cleveland Show" involving transgender characters, entailing that he believed that all trans people who identify as "women" were either just men in dresses, or true and honest women that just happened to have a penis. Predictably, his measuring stick in this regard was seemingly based on how "pretty" he deemed them, much like with Bailey, who he admitted having conflicting feelings about, and even apologized to after she admitted to being hurt by Chris's comment.

Chris however stated a couple times that if he were to have a "hermaphrodite" for a child, he'd strictly raise them as a boy, further indicating he views biological sex strictly through the lens of a person's genitals. Chris also seems to deem trans women that do get surgery as "fully female", as evidenced by him referring to Rosechu and Sylvana as such after having their penises removed, giving further credence to this. Despite this, Chris also appeared to believe that all bodies, regardless of them being "male" or "female", all have the same physiological functionalities under the correct circumstances. He, for example, believed that those with a penis can get pregnant, theorizing that it may be possible by his mate's egg winding up inside him, and getting fertilized by his sperm.

Chris on several occasions referred to himself as "intersex", due to having a penis, but having a "lesbian soul", failing to understand that the term is explicitly used for individuals that have BOTH male and female gametes. which he doesn't have.

Past Transphobia

“	Perhaps you are actually a dude, or even worse, a hermaphrodite.	”
Chris questioning the authenticity of ShmionSonozaki.

During the Classic Era, similar to his attitudes towards the "homos", Chris has also shown an aversion towards trans people, particularly trans women, viewing them as something that could potentially subvert his straightness. Considering his distaste for being seen as a homo himself, as well as him expressing his longing for vagina, it would only make sense that at the time he'd be repulsed by the idea of being attracted to a man posing as a woman, or a woman having a penis, theories which Chris had proven correct many, many times. Also like with the homos, Chris believed that hermaphrodites had the ability and desire to make him gay, claiming that he even found the prospect of a woman who was seducing him being a hermaphrodite worse than if he was catfished by a man, as evidenced when he called out ShmionSonozaki, where he questioned if she was a "pretty woman", before bringing up the possibility of her being a man, or "worse", a hermaphrodite. This trait of his was exploited, and became a well-known means to troll him on several occasions, usually by depicting some of his female characters as transgender, or in one case, attempting to hook him up with a trans woman.

A heavy target towards this method of trolling was the character Rosechu, who was depicted countless times by trolls as being born male, much to Chris's dismay. When Chris had first discovered his ED page, and noticed Rosechu drawn with a penis, he tried to dispel the rumors of her being a gay man by creating an entire episode for the Sonichu comics, the infamous Episode 17. In that episode, Chris drew Rosechu naked on many occasions, putting great emphasis on the fact she had a vagina. This of course wouldn't stop trolls from making more art of Rosechu with the offending appendage in order to anger Chris further, and Chris's insistence to the contrary only made Rosechu having a pickle to become more of a meme amongst those aware of Chris's story. It had gotten to the point that even the Idea Guys successfully convinced Chris that Rosechu was actually born with a penis at birth, making this officially canon.

Chris also created the character Sylvana Rosechu, a Rosechu that has the ability to shape shift, and give herself a penis while seducing other characters, though she wasn't given the latter ability until sometime around the creation of Sonichu 8. Trolls and observers have speculated that Chris gave her this ability as a way of symbolizing his frustration with all the times he's been catfished by trolls, though this is conjecture at best. Chris said himself that trolls had "inspired" him to make her a "hermaphrodite", that Count Graduon had "forced" Chris to make her have a penis under said troll influence, and proclaimed he'd make Sylvana "fully female" in Sonichu 10. This indicates that it is more likely he was manipulated in some way to make her like this, exploiting Chris's stressor.

One of the most infamous examples of Chris's former transphobia was his encounter with the troll sweetheart Bailey Jay in the CWCipedia's Mailbag. There, the troll behind the Bailey persona had seemingly taken note of the other instances of Chris being catfished, and decided to put Chris's self-proclaimed "straightness" to the test. In the first message that she sent to Chris, Bailey claims that she had a hard time finding men to fall in love with. After Chris replied, calling her "cute" and "pretty", she sent nude photos of herself to Chris, revealing she had a penis. Chris showed very conflicting feelings at the revelation, still calling Bailey "pretty", but also being unnerved at her being trans. Chris then apologized to Bailey when she expressed having her feelings hurt, and in the same post, Chris also rambles a couple of times about being "straight", as assigned by God, obviously being defensive about the previous comments he made towards her.

Several other trolls took note of Chris's reaction to Bailey, as well as a portion of Sonichu 10, where Chris is seen getting seduced by Silvana, disguised as Meg Griffin, and they began asking him more questions about "hermaphrodites" in future Mailbags, such as in Mailbag 37. In Mailbag 39, another troll asked Chris if he had sex with Sylvana, who at the time was portrayed with a penis, and asked him he'd want to have sex with a hermaphrodite. Chris angrily replied that he never had sex with her, and that he'd never have sex with a hermaphrodite, proclaiming he had intentions of retconning her ability to become one.

“	Second, to answer your questions. 1) No, I did not have sex with Silvana; ONLY MAKING OUT. When Silvana takes the form of an ALL-Female individual, its dick is GONE. 2) I would NEVER CARE to have sex with a Hermaphrodite.	”

Trans Men

Overall, Chris has always had a much better relationship with trans men, though this could be because, even after becoming a tomgirl, he appeared to view them as simply butch gal-pals. A prominent example of Chris showing this mindset is his interactions with the voice actor of Vinyl Scratch, Nowacking.

Chris as a "hermaphrodite"

Chris, after becoming a tomgirl, has ironically become one of the things he once winced at the thought of.

In Mailbag 39, along with being asked about "hermaphrodites", Chris was also asked about the possibility of breast-feeding the children that'd be conceived from having sex with Sylvana.

During his transition, Chris has taken hormones, but never got bottom surgery.
