Research indicates that individuals with ASD are more likely to experience gender dysphoria, and vice versa.

    Like 80% of teens could now be evaluated as being on some spectrum of autism. But imagine if mental health professionals made up some word for everyone that got tattoos, saying they had skin dysphoria. Or imagine if they actually did their job & identified most Christians in America as mentally ill & prone to delusions.

      Maybe don’t use mental health to attack people you disapprove of? The point of mental health is to help people, not to attack them.

        comment you’re replying to is off the farm, but talking shit about another instance is kind of hilarious given where you’re coming from.

      You dont get to talk about autism unless you are autistic, bigot. (Even then you would only get to talk about YOUR autism. Stop spreading these baseless, cookie cutter right wing talking points that dont help anyone.

      But imagine if mental health professionals made up some word for everyone that got tattoos, saying they had skin dysphoria.

      Imagine you shutting your face about other people‘s skin, identity, mental health and decisions. Typical right wing obsession with overstepping other people‘s boundaries. I understand you have never learned them and grew up in a world where you were told your and other‘s boundaries dont matter. That does not give you the right to do it to others.

      Or imagine if they actually did their job & identified most Christians in America as mentally ill & prone to delusions.

      Classical false equivalence used to drive misinformation and abusive speech. Religious people around the world are not your enemy. It is their choice to believe in what they want. As you show well, being religious and an overstepping abusive dick is not connected.

        You can talk about whatever you want. Don’t let people bully you into thinking otherwise.

          Yeah, no. Every minority will rip you a new one if you spread misinformation about them. And for good reasons. Its hard enough to live with systemic discrimination. You dont get to discriminate us further.

        You’re calling me a bigot for what? Because I said trans people don’t have a mental disorder?? Are you really suggesting now that saying trans people have gender dysphoria because of autism, and that is somehow non-bigoted? You have no clue what my experience is with autism, but I know that having autism doesn’t make people trans.

        Imagine you shutting your face about other people‘s skin, identity, mental health and decisions. Typical right wing obsession with overstepping other people‘s boundaries. I understand you have never learned them and grew up in a world where you were told your and other‘s boundaries dont matter. That does not give you the right to do it to others.

        Imagine you’re so clueless that you think me saying that the ones claiming gender dysphoria is linked to autism are wrong, and that those claims are absurd. Right wingers are happy to support circumcision & have no prob with tattoos. The point was that they ARE overstepping & hypocritical, but somehow you think I should shut up cause in your mind it helps trans people if a baseless study says they all have autism.

        90% of the hate towards trans people comes from people that believe in fairy tales, predominantly Christianity & Islam. But go ahead & think they’re all your friends and that believing in fairy tales is totally healthy & normal, especially the ones where they don’t think trans people should be allowed to exist. You severely lack any intelligence on this subject. I’m left wondering if you’re the right-wing plant.

          Another bigot. Thanks for showing yourself. Blocked.

          Of course academics make research but anyone in good faith knows that this was not about research but a bigot trying to dump on people finally finding out about themselves.

          Right? What an insane take.

          Guess I’m not allowed to help children on the spectrum learn daily living skills, or teach language skills to kids who communicate by injuring themselves.
