That’s bullshit.
The horror that’s being foisted on girls is appalling, and something some of us speak out against daily.
I’m a middle aged autistic woman, I know many autistic women of all ages. One thing we have in common in nearly all cases is that our teenage years were awful. Some had eating disorders, some had what would now be termed gender dysphoria, others had crippling mental illness.
I had gender dysphoria. I am certain is was caused by arbitrary gender stereotypes. Luckily I was born in the 70s. Gender stereotypes weren’t as rigid, I was able to have short hair and wear my brothers clothes without being judged at all. I didn’t accept my female body at all until I had my first child, then it all made sense, and I was very grateful that I wasn’t able to make choices that I certainly would have done given the options our poor children have now.
Nowadays gender is king. Stereotypes maketh the person. Want short hair? Play football? You’re a boy. Like pink? Want to wear a fairy dress? You’re a girl.
Not only this, but this lunacy is state sanctioned by people who really should know better than assume that a child, particularly an unhappy autistic child, knows what they want with no knowledge of the long term consequences. The NHS including GPs and CAMHS, teachers, social workers, government agencies and charities looking out for the welfare of children - all captured. All ignoring the big elephant in the room.
It’s like everything we know about child development has been chucked out.
97.5% of trans identified girls are autistic, or have a history of abuse or neglect, or are looked after children, or have severe mental illness. For the love of god why are any of these girls allowed to make life changing decisions when it’s already known that we nearly all grow out of it?
Bugger off with your accusation that no one’s doing anything, this is a very important topic, but we’re going against the tide here, and too many autism families are so captured that as yet they don’t know what they’re doing to their children, they think they are part of a benevolent family that wants the best for them.
