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?

  • My step son wears make-up, dyes his hair wild colours, wears a kilt and leggings, sometimes he gets abuse for it, I don't see a gender I see a person who's my son by another Mum, he sings in a death metal band and sounds like a demon vomiting, which is apparently a compliment. Being tall, with long legs I often wear mens socks, vests, joggers and jumpers, but I also wear more feminine things too. I'm a straight woman and have been all my life, but unless I want to have relations with them what they keep in their pants and who they do it with is fine by me, as long as its between consenting adults.

    So what you like music that's supposedly "girly"? Isn't that a term to denigrate music performed and often written by women? 

    I think autistic people are  often very concerned with social justice, so would be more likely to not care about outer appearances, but the inner person, so would be more trans friendly, maybe because we notice things like that less, or maybe we just don't care?

    I have always wanted and Loved seeing people with Different hair colors! i have also always wanted my hair coloured or changed but my parents never really Approved or saw a point in it and tbh they made good points Like it would be a little weird Going to work with Blue or Red hair, But i have still always wanted to get my hair coloured though its always bugged me. 

    Kinda but not really no, Its more in the sense of like mostly what girls Would listen to but yet again thats why i said kinda as it falls in that Category.

    They are, i feel Autistic People get Overlooked quite a lot, Like for the stuff we love, the games we play, the things we do on a daily. People kinda miss look at what we really see and do as it makes a whole Lot of sentce to Us than it does make to them. But also kinda falls into Line with how we few or see people Differently to what other view or see them as.
