Research indicates that individuals with ASD are more likely to experience gender dysphoria, and vice versa.
Gender isn’t real anyway so 🤷🏻♀️
Gender is real, it’s just a human construct. But that doesn’t make it any less real than, say, Italian is real despite it being a human construct.
The idea of gender is just stupid and has to go, regardless if people consider it real or not, it’s a social construct that must go
Well that’s what Trump is trying to do so.
I guess you and the fascist are getting your wish.
Seriously though, gender is older than Homo sapiens. It’s about division of reproductive labor and the classes that humans form around that
The gender binary needs to go. Gender inequality needs to go. But people are going to have gender as long as we have class distinctions and we are a long way from outgrowing that.
But like pre-nation of Italy Italian it can have fairly different interpretations based on regionality
Fuck. My autistic self has enough problems already and recently I get all gender-questioning while hugging my Blåhaj (still comfortably cis by day though). Seeing articles that imply I am “at risk” of being queer does not help: I don’t want to go through the phase of finding out and potentially having to tackle the choices and processes involved before I sort out my ADHD-like symptoms. Trans folk REALLY is brave to have picked the fight against all the social norms. Should I unsubscribe from 196 to hopefully reduce the temptation to find out? Yes, I’m a bit of a coward.
Like 80% of teens could now be evaluated as being on some spectrum of autism.
You dont get to talk about autism unless you are autistic, bigot. (Even then you would only get to talk about YOUR autism. Stop spreading these baseless, cookie cutter right wing talking points that dont help anyone.
But imagine if mental health professionals made up some word for everyone that got tattoos, saying they had skin dysphoria.
Imagine you shutting your face about other people‘s skin, identity, mental health and decisions. Typical right wing obsession with overstepping other people‘s boundaries. I understand you have never learned them and grew up in a world where you were told your and other‘s boundaries dont matter. That does not give you the right to do it to others.
Or imagine if they actually did their job & identified most Christians in America as mentally ill & prone to delusions.
Classical false equivalence used to drive misinformation and abusive speech. Religious people around the world are not your enemy. It is their choice to believe in what they want. As you show well, being religious and an overstepping abusive dick is not connected.
You can talk about whatever you want. Don’t let people bully you into thinking otherwise.

TIL 100% of the Psychiatry profession is autistic.
Another bigot. Thanks for showing yourself. Blocked.
Of course academics make research but anyone in good faith knows that this was not about research but a bigot trying to dump on people finally finding out about themselves.

You’re calling me a bigot for what? Because I said trans people don’t have a mental disorder?? Are you really suggesting now that saying trans people have gender dysphoria because of autism, and that is somehow non-bigoted? You have no clue what my experience is with autism, but I know that having autism doesn’t make people trans.

Imagine you’re so clueless that you think me saying that the ones claiming gender dysphoria is linked to autism are wrong, and that those claims are absurd. Right wingers are happy to support circumcision & have no prob with tattoos. The point was that they ARE overstepping & hypocritical, but somehow you think I should shut up cause in your mind it helps trans people if a baseless study says they all have autism.

90% of the hate towards trans people comes from people that believe in fairy tales, predominantly Christianity & Islam. But go ahead & think they’re all your friends and that believing in fairy tales is totally healthy & normal, especially the ones where they don’t think trans people should be allowed to exist. You severely lack any intelligence on this subject. I’m left wondering if you’re the right-wing plant.
Maybe don’t use mental health to attack people you disapprove of? The point of mental health is to help people, not to attack them.
And that’s not what the article says. It says that there is a correlation between the two.
I’m trans and not autistic. But I do see that correlation in a number of my trans and autistic peers. Up thread there were some very good comments on why this might be from posters that I assume are both trans and autistic.
RCCX!
The entire cluster (ADHD/Hypermobility/Autoimmune/MCAS/etc) is theorised to originate there.
That guy bothers me, I don’t think medical professionals should cultivate personality cults. Then again I don’t really think politicians should either, and that’s basically the definition of politics.
There was an interesting NatGeo article recently about something similar - the links between hypermobility, GI issues, long COVID and long COVID-like illnesses like MECFS, MCAS, etc. The links you provided are really fascinating and suggest maybe even a larger clustering of symptoms unified in a single genetic process.
What repoir does the wiki have? It seems well written enough, but I don’t trust these kinds of things unless a person with something to lose backs them.
Follow the links through
From myself I see it as a sensory sensitivity. Like cheap sweatpants that have the fizzy stuff on the inside I can’t stand, but others are just like ehh, it’s not great. So while someone else is ehh about dysphoria, it was overwhelming to me.
