So I am looking at tumblr to watch tims cope and seethe over stuff, and I stumbled across a user who has autism as a gender, and I am kind of confused of how this works. now before any one goes off my autism before it became defunct, and I get called a Nazi for saying this all the time, I have been diagnosed in 1990 as having Asperger's syndrome, and I am a biological female, so I looked up autism gender, and yes its legit considered a gender. Then I realized alot of people on the spectrum identify as gender identity that we consider tims and tifs, then now I realize, the tras must be manipulating the lower end functioning ones. Because I remember despite my shitty childhood, I never once questioned the fact I was born a female, I never once was influenced to be a different gender; I just knew I liked the sims, and the internet, and hated foods with soft textures. I never once questioned anything really about my identity I just knew I was female, and never really gave a shit about patriarchy and feminism, because at the time, all I was exposed too was the current third wave, and not the rad fem kind. like okay, before I realized fad fem and gender critical existed, what turned me off feminism in the first place in beginning was the the self indulgent kind. Like it feels good play lip service and say your fighting patriarchy, but on the other hand, behaving as men when it comes to sex. wearing make up, and pretending its art, engaging in sex work, and saying its a job when nine times out of ten I literally saw people devolve into doing sex work because of drugs and desperate circumstance. that turned me off. Like its one thing to say sex work is a o fucking kay, but even before I became a crime scene cleaner, I saw people whom I considered at one point friends, slowly descend into doing sex work from legal to not to legal kinds all because of drugs, or some other terrible influence. the very people propagating this stuff, are the people most disconnected from the plight that poverty has, and how exactly it can fuck you up. I think that's what really sheltered me unlike the other people on the spectrum from nonsense. because of my first introduction to current day feminism was so, indulgent, and need I say degenerate, I immediately dismissed liberal feminism and just ignored it. I think part of why I had the ability to question and not follow blindly for ass pats, was because my disability never impacted my ability to critically reason. It also never made me susceptible to female conditioning by society that I had to be nice. Yet it makes me wonder, are these people on the spectrum, who identify as a different special gender, are they doing it for it ass spats and a sense of belonging? I think the toughest lesson I ever had to learn, was that you can be island, and that belonging is important if it costs something great in return. If I wasn't high functioning I'd probably never would've learned that, and be sapped into the tra bullshit. LIke I know I am probably talking about dumb shit, but it just makes you think.
