As a socially awkward autistic man, Chris struggled with loneliness in her pre-transition days and often expressed her desire for a female companion. Though she had a female friend group whom she dubbed her "gal pals", the relationship was mostly parasocial in nature and they did not have much contact outside of school other than Chris's 18th birthday party. | As a socially awkward autistic man, Chris struggled with loneliness in her pre-transition days and often expressed her desire for a female companion. Though she had a female friend group whom she dubbed her "gal pals", the relationship was mostly parasocial in nature and they did not have much contact outside of school other than Chris's 18th birthday party. In reality, they were nothing more than hired help to babysit Chris, as Chris would find out from her mother and an unknown "gal pal". They were all arranged by Bob and the principal. The nature of the agreement is unknown, but it was likely a combination of personal and financial gain. | ||
By 2003, Chris was a student at Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she still presented as male. On her 21st birthday in February of that year, she launched her search for a "boyfriend-free girl" in a saga that Chris would dub the "Love Quest". However, this quest was hindered by what she referred to as the [[Infinitely High Boyfriend Factor]]: the extreme likelihood that any woman to whom she spoke would already have a boyfriend. Another similar term coined by Chris is [[noviophobia]], which referred to her fear of a woman she talked to already having a boyfriend. | By 2003, Chris was a student at Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she still presented as male.
