Idk what the TERF said this time and I don't care to. But I've seen enough folks talking to know our agency is being questioned again. And during #AutismAcceptanceMonth of all times.
I'm autistic. I'm transgender. Y'all are just gonna have to get used to us existing.

As autistic people there's a lot we don't get agency over.
For the love of god. Letting us assert our own genders is some of the most basic control you can give us over our own lives.
We have higher rates of being trans & nonbinary. Get used to it.

Why are there higher rates of trans & nonbinary identities?
We don't know yet, because the only thing people like to study in the #autism field is how to make us be less autistic.
But stop assuming nefarious reasons.
One theory? We're more likely to question social norms.

Maybe we aren't actually all that much more likely to be trans & nonbinary.
Consider the fact that the gender binary & gender roles are bullshit. And autistic people are often more likely to call out and question bullshit social expectations that make no sense. NTs conform.

Maybe y'all are just more likely to keep playing cis to appeal to social expectations. 🤷🏻
Or, maybe autistic people are actually more likely to be trans. Could be.
It really doesn't matter "why" as much as it matters that you accept us as we are & allow us that agency.
