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 Intersexuality

Like with a lot of other things, Chris's initial understanding of intersex people came from the media he's watched. Though like 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.

"Hermaphrodites" as a stressor

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

During the Classic Era, Chris has shown on many occasions to be intimidated by women being depicted with penises. Considering his distaste for being seen as a "homo", 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 a woman having a penis. Chris has also claimed that he even found the prospect of a woman 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.

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 editing explicit art Chris made of her to anger him 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 example of Chris's former transphobia/interphobia 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, and they began asking him more questions about "hermaphrodites".

Chris as a "hermaphrodite"

Chris, after becoming a tomgirl, has ironically become one of the things he once winced at the thought of. During his transition, Chris has taken hormones, but never got bottom surgery.
