Are there many people on the GC side who are autistic? I often hear of people on the other side being autistic but not so much with GC. I just wonder because the majority of people don't seem to give a crap either way.

It’s a polite term for someone who believes that trans women are not women.

Yep. Me. I couldn't be otherwise; logic overrides everything else. Plus I'm a scientist and I have no truck with science-denying idiots.

Hi, what does GC stand for please?

I'm another woman who's diagnosed autistic and am GC.

I can also see how I'd have devoted myself to trans ideology as desperately and rigidly as they do though.

I thought I had to be a boy when I was a child, because what else could explain how I didn't fit in with the other stupid girls, liked boy's clothes and boy's games? Had a boy's nickname and haircut and everything.

Turned out I was (a) deeply sexist - which I only really discovered and tackled in my 20s - and (b) very autistic, which I only found out in my 30s.

Both me and my adult DD are diagnosed autistic and think gender is a load of old bollocks.

ShiveringCoyote · 21/08/2020 07:25

I'm undiagnosed but every professional I've seen with dd who has asd has mentioned traits in myself.

Yes, me.

I found out that I have ASD last summer. It explains so much.
