tw in women's sport is only THE hot button trans issue bc it's so public, and the photos are right there in ur face. The real issue is and always has been prisons and rape shelters, but it's hidden on the margins of society, and nearly exclusive to poor women, so no one cares.

Basically, being transgender was the only explanation I had at the time for issues that were actually rooted in autism. I thought testosterone would fix me, and make my body as masculine as my brain seemed to be. In fact, my brain wasn't 'masculine' at all, it was autistic.

I didn't really think about anything else. Autism means you have very narrow obsessions that are difficult to see outside of, and trans activism was definitely one of mine from age 16-19. I also, I think, mistook ASD symptoms for gender dysphoria:

Autism makes you good at systematising but bad at empathising, which are traits we typically associate with men. Not to get all 'not like the other girls' on u but...yeah, with ASD we have to take into account that our thinking process is v different and in many ways more 'male'

@art_twink The actual medical labels for levels of autism aren't named 'high' and 'low'. It's a numbered level system. Level 1 ASD is very different to level 3 ASD. These labels are actually really necessary to make sure autistic people get the right support from the healthcare system.
