me commenting here is probably just proving the meme's point but I think my autism is way more powerful than a binary gender dichotomy. if I ever decide otherwise though, I will return to this thread and say so.
There's no way to know for sure until you try to exist in spaces as another gender. Autism does affect things in all contexts, but I feel way better in women's/mixed spaces than male only ones.
you're right. I deeply hate performing maleness but maybe performing womanhood would hurt less. I'm under the impression that trying and failing hurts more internally than being a failed man though. disregarding the price of incurring transphobia, just based on things cis women have told me about failing to preform their gender
