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?

  • Not gender identity itself but the social norms of what is "Male" and "Female" behaviour and what are boys and girls interests. 

    I never got that growing up. When I was a kid I was like I'ma boy why shouldn't I like My Little Pony? And then as a teenager, why shouldn't I enjoy Mean Girls and High School Musical? I didn't see a distinction between being the lad that loved playing football and the person who enjoyed a gossip with the girls and a teen movies. 

    Then when I got older society made me feel I had to pick one or the other, Im only just realising now what utter nonsense that was
