Transgender
| “ | Yes, I am a Tomgirl, and I am damn proud of it. I have embraced and appreciated my feminine side. I am still totally heterosexual. Otherwise, I would be a full-blown you-know-what. [...] I have been more self-confident, and I have a sweet sashay walk, hair and wink flirts, and I am greeting women left and right. | ” |
| Chris[1] | ||
The Tomgirl Saga was the eighteenth saga in Chris's life. After being suggested that he get in touch with his feminine side, Chris became a "tomgirl", dressing in women's clothes and putting on makeup. The Calling Out videos are generally included as part of this saga.
It's possible that Chris came up with the term from Eddie Izzard's Dress to Kill, where he says that being a transvestite is the same as being a male tomboy, though this is not confirmed.
Summary

Prologue
According to an email Chris sent to Jackie on 26 March 2011, Chris started cross-dressing at the beginning of that month.[2] At the end of that month Chris changed his PSN quote to "I am Tomgirl". This was the first sign of the Tomgirl Saga, and caused much speculation among people following Chris. What exactly this quote meant, however, would not be answered until the end of April.
On 29 April, the Tomgirl Pictures were released by Surfshack Tito. In them, Chris is dressed in woman's clothing, posing in, at least what he believes are, seductive positions. This marked the official beginning of the Tomgirl Saga, as well as finally revealing what his previous PSN quote meant. For some reason, Chris removed the Tomgirl PSN quote immediately after PSN came back online after a month of inactivity, possibly due to receiving attention from trolls.

Barb was not happy, making negative remarks, such as, "do not wear eye shadow," "you look like a prostitute," "lipstick makes you look like a hooker," "you're turning into a gay," "what are you piercing next?" and "what's next, you wearing a skirt and high heels?"[3]
Tomboys and Tomgirls of Virginia
In late May, Chris discovered the Tomboys And Tomgirls of Virginia forum. The forum was dedicated to tomboys and tomgirls living in Virginia who wish to discuss their lives. Chris joined under the username Kookydashy, marking a midpoint in the saga.
In the posts Chris made, he mostly talked about himself and his tomgirl antics. Chris revealed that he had come out to his parents, only to receive insults from them. Barb, in particular, has kept complaining about his new attire, and Bob, according to Chris, "threw the damned fag card" at him. Chris also recounts a story in which he went to the lady's restroom because he "started feeling discomfort in using the Men's restroom." However, a jerkop caught him and yelled at him for going to the women's restroom; Chris proceeded to ignore him and continue using the women's restroom.
Later posts Chris made mention his online trolling, practically saying everything but "I am Christian Weston Chandler." According to Chris, socializing online makes people more autistic, and people should socialize offline. Chris also became paranoid of being trolled even on these forums, leading him to accuse a tomboy looking for a tomgirl of being a troll. For a month, Chris didn't post at the forums.
A month later, Thorg discovered the Tomboys and Tomgirls of Virginia forum, and made an article about it on the CWCki. Chris noticed this quickly, and alerted his fellow tomboys and tomgirls a day later. Chris admitted that he is Christian Weston Chandler. Chris complained about the trolls, and said that he is not a bad person, despite what the CWCki said. The other posters promised to help Chris defeat the trolls. After this, the forums became defunct, as the tomboys and tomgirls helped Chris find a way to get revenge.
Calling out
In August, Chris makes his return to YouTube. After planning with his fellow tomboys and tomgirls, he has obtained dox on all of his trolls. From here, Chris makes a series of videos calling out various trolls.
Chris first calls out Surfshack Tito, and demands that he 1) admit to hacking PlayStation Network, 2) apologize to the Wallflower and her family, 3) send Chris $1,000, 4) delete all of his pages from the CWCki, and 5) apologize to Chris. Surfshack Tito replied a few days later, meeting Chris's demands.
The next troll called out was Thorg. Chris demands that he 1) put up a billboard in NYC declaring that Chris is straight, 2) delete all of his pages from the CWCki, and 3) apologize to Chris. Unlike Tito, Thorg did not take Chris seriously. Chris re-calls out Thorg, and eventually unmasks him as Jeremy Slonwhite, a fat, nerdy atheist living in Canada.
Chris then calls out Jack Thaddeus, and simply demands that he apologize to Chris. However, Jack Thaddeus unmasked himself, revealing that he is ADF, another lolcow. Chris responds by mocking him and his communist views.
Later, Chris calls out Alec Benson Leary, and demands that he apologize to Chris. Alec Benson Leary did not respond to Chris's Calling Out video, so Chris unmasked him as Christopher Paul Whitney, a fat man who eats food on Youtube.
Finally, Chris called out BlueSpike, and demanded that he 1) stop people from prank calling him and screaming "JULAY", and 2) apologize to Chris. BlueSpike did not respond, but Chris did not unmask him because tragedy had hit his family.
Epilogue?
On 6 September 2011, Bob passed away from heart failure. This brought the public events of Tomgirl Saga to a relatively abrupt end, as Chris was in mourning and apparently too depressed to make more videos. BlueSpike's deadline to respond to Chris passed without Chris unmasking him. Only a few pictures of tomgirl Chris have emerged since then.
However, this major life event did not dissuade Chris from being a tomgirl. 3 years later, according to his latest OkCupid profile, he stated "I would cross dress more often if my mother was not against me doing it (panties and bra included, but wear them anyway)."
Nope, He's Still At It
On 14 August 2014, Chris revealed via Facebook that he is a self-described "Tomgirl, Intersex of Female Soul with Male Body, and a Tranny Cross-Dresser", claiming shortly afterward to be a lesbian in a male body. He also proclaimed that he is a supporter of "LBT" rights, which seems to have neatly coincided with the advent of his professed status as a trans person. His omission of the "G" (Gay) was attacked by Kim, in the face of which Chris admitted that the "G.M.s" were "fortunate" to be "on the boat", suggesting that he despises gay men as much as ever.
Evidence of legitimate transsexualism
Almost none. Though he has extolled wearing a bra for years, he staunchly claimed that he was a man at the time — and still is bizarrely claiming to be a "lesbian identified male" rather than adopting a female identity. His hatred of all pickles rather than just his own suggests issues about sexual insecurity rather than gender insecurity, and his total non-acceptance of LGBT people until now is another nail in the coffin - he is still terrified of being considered a homo, and still refuses to acknowledge gay men (as seen above in his "LBT" rant). It should be noted that heterosexual men do sometimes cross-dress, but it is not necessarily indicative of their orientation or gender identification. In summary, Chris' professed status as a trans person is highly dubious.
Chris' Mixed Messages and Possible Reasons for the Tomgirl Turn
Although cross-dressing among gay men ("doing drag") is over-the-top and purely for comedic purposes, Chris in his homophobia would almost certainly consider it to be a form of sexual expression - and thus, wearing women's clothing would damn one as a homo. This created much confusion among white knights and trolls alike, as Chris has long preached against any sort of behavior that might "turn people homo", or cast any aspersions on his purported heterosexuality. There are a few theories as to why he turned Tomgirl, and how he justifies it to himself:
- As Clyde Cash pointed out, it could be a latent desire he's been in denial over for years and only now beginning to embrace.
- Some suggested that he received advice about "getting in touch with his feminine side" and Chris took it literally. This is what happened according to Chris, but is probably not the full story.
- As evidenced by his past behavior towards women and his recent bragging about using the female restroom, he could be doing it as an excuse to peep on women using them. In a similar vein, he would also be avoiding using the male restroom, an all-pickle environment which probably causes a lot of stress.
- It could be a bizarre, roundabout solution to the cognitive dissonance that no doubt comes with Chris's increasingly often demonstrated hatred of his own sex. This as a solution would allow him to maintain his insane loathing of men, and not admit it is motivated by jealousy.
- Also, as shown by his very strange, childish, and lazy fantasy of what married life would be like for him, Chris obviously does not want to have to be the spouse who provides for the family. It's possible that Chris realized that its usually the man who has a job, and the woman stays home. As such, Chris may have decided to say he was trans so he could have an excuse to not work (another one, that is). It should be noted that Chris absolutely expects the real woman in the relationship to work, and hard.
