1. I wondered about it a fair growing up and funnily, I was routinely pegged as queer by the other kids. But I didn’t have the language to describe my queer identities and thus to realize I actually “counted” til my mid to late twenties. #30DaysOfDisabledPride
2. Similarly, I always knew my bodymind was “different” growing up. I was a sickly, neurodivergent kid the latter of which was especially problematized by my teachers though no one ever bothered to label it with anything others than slurs or euphemisms. #30DaysOfDisabledPride
2 [cont’d]. I claimed disability when applying to university for the purpose of having access to accommodations (not that they made any) but I felt like I was cheating by claiming something I had no right to. #30DaysOfDisabledPride
I am very tired of seeing the exclusion of autistic trans men in these conversations.
1. Autistic nonbinary people don't all grow up being perceived as girls.
2. Autistic trans men exist & should be allowed to talk about their experiences being perceived as a girl growing up 1/3

3. The idea that we should only include women and nonbinary people in the autism discourse is just really weird on so many levels. Some autistic cis men mask! Fun fact!
4. Just say marginalized genders if you want to talk about experiences outside of autistic cis men!

5. Regardless of someone's gender (such as nonbinary people and trans men) they may still be perceived as a woman in society depending on what they look/sound like! (Yes even an autistic trans man!)
Stop slapping the "women and nonbinary" label on and calling it a day, everyone.
