Do us autistics see gender identity different?

Thpsguy

So I identify as male as is my birth gender but I ditb adhere to gender stereotypes that for example certain music tastes are girlie or a ladies jumper or jeggings shouldn't be worn by men the way I see it if it suite my frame and I like. The design I'll wear it 

Also make. Up I like how I feel. And look when I wear mascara(I go less supptlw on the lower lashes though) eyeliner eyeshadow foundation blush and bronzer 

Is this why more autistic people are honest and open if they are trans?

  • That is in-Fact a really good Question, as its hard to really say as Most Autistic Understand it and know what they Identify as male and or Female but most People can see if as something they would like to try or Like to wear. for example, High thighs, or like you said yourself Mascara, if that's what you like to wear and feel combatable doing so, then i see no problem and no one else should see a problem with that. Like i like certain Girlie Movies, i also Like Girle Music. That's something i like and i don't think anyone really cares as its something that makes me happy and that's all they really care for. So again, If this is something you love to do. then i don't see any problems over this and no one else should either.

    I think the whole girlie. Pop thing so many attack. It. Saying it has no depth etc but it does I mean take manchild by Sabrina carpenter it has that 80s sound whilst sounding original and new and those two part harmonies in the bridge are perfect and I honestly believe that despite what you may or may not think about her musical style that Taylor Swift is a lyrical master I mean even patient zero I didn't like. It at first but like always tay Tay didn't let me. Down it grew on me 

    I think why I like so many styles I.e bold make up vs no make. Up or natural looks is that it allows me to be the version of me I want to on that day like clothes wise. I have my USA themed stuff, my emo stuff, my comfy clothes and even some military surplus stuff 

    Like. Today I've gone with a wooly jumper with a USA flag I  the corner andUSA across the front and make up wise it's my favorite more supptlw grey eyeliber fro  poundland(which never gets restocks anymore) and a long lash mascara bit other days I might go for a black emo band shirt bold black eyeliner abd bold mascara with black. Eye shadow and a extra layer of liquid liner anf use a liber felt pen to add some wing

    Music wise. I find I connect to. It better in a linear form like radio or a mix tape too O find Spotify and YouTube music too overwhelming so I need to get an aux chord and some tapes to make miss tapes of stuff I can't get on official tapes or cds

    Yeah i totally get what you mean, Like its insane how many people attack others for there Appearance or how they want to be dressed as. Like for me for example, I like to wear my fluffy oversized clothes as it makes me combatable and makes me feel safe. Or i like to wear joggers and a jumper as its warm but makes me stand out a little more.

    The Music, im a little different as i like more sadder Music but also i have some happy and amazing banger songs, It depends on the mood i normally feel like i could put sad songs on to make me Feel more Happy or comfdable, or i can listen to some of the more happier songs and that actually would help.

    Again i think its based on how you are feeling as for example, 1you could be in a very happy mood and feel more comfdable in yourself mentally. Or it could be the fact that you feel Comfdable in how you look original.
