Doctors refusing gender-affirming treatment to autistic patients because of their autism is especially diabolical when you realize that autistic people are much more likely than allistics to be transgender or nonbinary.
They're trying to get rid of us completely, using our autism to claim that we're not competent enough to have bodily autonomy.
Can allistic trans people stop ignoring this issue please. Autism isn't some funny quirky neurospicy autism creature shit, ableism against us is very real and makes us a great target for transphobes.
#Shoutout to that time someone in an LGBTQ+ discord told me I can't be agender because I'm autistic and “can't understand” that about myself.#One time I saw someone complaining that neurodivergent people are “welcomed” into LGBTQ+ spaces while physically disabled people aren't but#NEITHER physically disabled nor mentally disabled people are welcomed into LGBTQ spaces. They don't want either of us.#Can you please wait until AFTER states have stopped trying to make transitioning illegal for diagnosed autistic folks before you start#denying that the lgbtq+ community also has a lot of ableism towards neurodivergent people.#actually neurodivergent#actually autistic#autism blog#mental disability#neurodiversity#autism#actuallyautistic#actually transgender#transgender#agender#actually agender#nonbinary#actually nonbinary#lgbtq#queer#autism and gender identity#tw transphobes#tw ableism#my post#ok to rb#queued post
