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?

  • Just here to say “be you, man.” I know that’s not directly answering your question and it echoes a lot of what’s already said here, but honestly I think that’s what’s really important to take away from this discussion.

    I grew up in a male-dominant farming community where I was mislabelled as homosexual, so I became homophobic until college. What I didn’t realize is that homophobia isn’t just hating gays - which I didn’t - it can also present itself as being so afraid of being perceived as gay that you act different than you normally would. I had to have a close friend point that out to me to realize that.

    So be yourself. If others say that’s inappropriate or gay, let them.
