I think that there are large parallels between the experiences of trans people and autistic people, so I thought it might be good to share some information on some of the problems trans people face and guidance on how to be a good ally.
I know it looks like a lot, but I hope it helps to increase understanding and compassion. If any other trans people who want to add to this, please do.
Thank you.
The acknowledgement is appreciated.
And yes, I'm bumping this to the top of the feed and I think that it's important for this viewpoint to be heard.
It's particularly important, I think, because of the recent study showing the increasing numbers of Autistic trans and non-binary folks.
It would be something (though not very much) if those politicians actually gave a damn about women's safety etc etc; but they're just using those important issues as distractions (as you state) and in the hope & service of gaining votes. They don't even have the courage of their so-called convictions.
