this entire comment thread is so mutually respectful and well-articulated, omg. no awkward linguistic choices that indicate covertly regressive attitudes towards trans people Or towards gender-nonconforming cis people, and even the replies about the relationship between autism & transness are totally sensible and unassuming⦠gotta be one of the top 3 chillest groups on this app, we love to see it š
yea i cycled thru so many gender identities, the only thing that remained consistent was my singular attraction to women (lesbian) and my pronouns (they/she). i found that no label truly encompasses my feelings because i relate to the experiences of being perceived as a woman and the sexism that follows, but i cant relate to other women well because im gay and autistic and ive met a lot of women who are a certain type of person (male centered). itās hard to feel like a woman when itās all
I canāt work in a female dominated field without being treated differently by the women around me. I canāt be too friendly, affectionate, or care about others without people doubting my genuineness. Oh and the next thing Iām going to mention is an autism thing in general, but people saying āheās a bit oddā for no fucking reason.
socially constructed. not that the identities of woman and man arenāt real, but they are constantly changing in language and behavior, so while most men and women keep up with that shift, i feel like autistics get left behind on the social scripts of what it means to be in a group
Wait, I just wanna say yeah, I agree 100,000%. I donāt fit in with girls at all and I feel like I fit in with men in a way because of how blunt they are, like thereās no guessing games about the way that they feel about a situation. that is also kind of disheartening to me because I donāt find myself really sexually attracted to them because of the way that Iāve kind of started to lose that respect.
Youāre definitely not the only neurodivergent woman who feels this way. Iāve heard this from many other people, from people I actually know to random autistic content creators. Iām a guy and I wish I had more guy friends. At the moment most of my friends are women, and it causes me more social anxiety because I find them harder to read (unless theyāre also neurodivergent). I had a group of guy friends freshman and sophomore year of college but they were really toxic.
So fucking meanā¦.and tbh beauty standards make no sense. Muscular women are way more attractive than those models in magazines. That being said whether or not you are sexually appealing to someone shouldnāt be shared by them! What assholes. Iāve been around a lot of toxic people in college and itās just awful. I canāt wait to graduate next year.
