Protecting your autistic daughter

I’m Autistic and so is my younger sister. This may or may not be reassuring…

All the gender stuff is a little after my time so I escaped it and am a RadFem.

My sister is 8 years younger than me and in her teens it was all just building up a head of steam. She and her pals were all queer, bi, pan or trans 😬 She was quite radicalised about it all and would stand up fervently for what she believed in at the time.

Few of her friends continued down those paths, most just realised they were Autistic, gay, lesbian or bi.

My sister is now a full blown RadFem and talks about some of the ridiculous instances that got her “peaked”.

So my point is that we can come back from it so long as no physical harm is done.
That’s what we should be focusing on; educating our Autistic daughters especially on why they are so vulnerable to this ideology (looking for somewhere to fit and not feeling like everyone else). Educating them about the very many Autistic female detransitioners and how horrifically their lives have been impacted forever.

Kids get so much of this stuff from the Internet (fandom spaces in particular are rife with it) and peers generally. School assemblies are an absolute drop in the ocean.

Yes, but a school teaching this has so much more authority. I agree that they can search up all sorts of things but most children can also understand that not every opinion expressed online is true and you can look up alternative views. We tell our children to respect what they are told by teachers. Schools absolutely should not be promoting gender ideology in any way.

@BoredOfThisMansWorld I agree. I have two children, a boy and a girl and as a liberal parent I've never pushed gender stereotypes on them. The idea that, having brought them up to know that both girls and boys can be sensitive or adventurous, wear pink, wear trousers, have long or short hair, suddenly they are supposed to believe that their sex might have something to do with their feelings rather than their biology seems entirely regressive!

Good. She's vulnerable.

Stay away from these kids

That is a reassuring story. Ironically considering the subject of the thread, it is my autistic child who is very clear about the reality of biological sex and my neuro typical child who has got sucked into gender ideology via his friendship group! I have faith that, as a very logical person, he will come out of it once the peer pressure of the teenage years passes!

It's censorship. Agreeing with censorship is bonkers.

So do you think that young autistic kids should be exposed to Scientology too?
