"We just happen to be resistant to the social conditioning that teaches everyone else how essential the gender binary supposedly is.”
Sums it up so well! :O Adherence to a gender binary has done untold damage to humanity.
Hear me out. What if, just a weird devils advocate hypothesis, what if non binary people with autism are just non binary due to already having rigid social norms thrust upon them due to the autism. Didn't read the article, but just a weird ass thought. Not said to discredit anything btw.
In other words, we actually ARE immune to propaganda. Not completely, but more than the average person. Banking on it would be a bad idea, but it might catch the fashies off guard.
Honestly I always thought it was wild and just proof of how deeply ableist most transphobes are that they think being autistic makes you easy to deceive. Like trying to get neurodivergent folks to adhere to some arbitrary social rules you made up for evil™️ reasons is like trying to herd cats lol.
