Autism and Transgender

[winter pollen]

Hi I was wondering if there’s anyone else here who is autistic and transgender.

[tacit jewel]

I think it would rather be a big community haha

[warm belfry]

It’s a small group so far hehe

[tall flower]

You're right it is here

I have a question-I’m trans ftm but I still love girl things. Does anyone else feel this way and feel as conflicted as I do? I feel like that’s wrong though, and that if I really am a boy I wouldn’t like those things. Maybe it’s just me being hard on myself, because if another person told me that they felt this way I would tell them they can still love girl things

[edgy mulch]

Objects and hobbies don't have a gender, really. That's symbolic programming by society.

[warm belfry]

I’m non-binary. I see gender as a spectrum. Most of the time, I identify myself more as male, but I am a very fruity one. I like girl things, like makeup, dresses, soft things, girly movies and shit. It took me a while to come to terms with it, but none of that means I’m a girl. In the end, it’s all about what society says it’s for girls or for boys. But, in reality, you can choose whatever you like, no matter what your gender is

[edgy mulch]

I don't think of myself as less of a woman because I wear clothing that's seen as more masc..

I played with dolls with my younger sisters when younger. For a long time. It still doesn't change how I view myself.

Even as an AMAB

We had tons of Monster High and Barbie dolls. It was a way to create a bond.

[warm belfry]

Ooh, monster high dolls are the shit

You got taste

[edgy mulch]

IKR

Draculaura is overrated tho

xD

Ghoulia, well she's funny but that's not explicitly because of her speech impediment, she just.. stands out

[warm belfry]

I like Lagoona

[warm belfry]

Fr

[edgy mulch]

oh yeah her

[winter pollen]

So I have a problem, I just got my mom to buy me a ton of new boy clothes- how do I go about that-…..?????

[warm belfry]

You could style them in a way that suits you best, or you could say you’ll use them and actually just let them in the closet

Does your mum know you’re trans?

[edgy mulch]

Me and my sibs grew up on that in the 2010s

not just the dolls but the series

[winter pollen]

Yes

[warm belfry]

The series is so good too. I really miss it

So iconic

[warm belfry]

Then have a chat with her, maybe she’ll understand

[edgy mulch]

especially the first gen

[urban python]

GG @edgy mulch, you just advanced to level 13!

[winter pollen]

Okay I will

[warm belfry]

The first gen is the most iconic one

[edgy mulch]

that and also Petshop

[warm belfry]

Hope it works out 🥰

[edgy mulch]

flashback to 2010s kids making petshop videos where they make the heads bobble to talk

[warm belfry]

I wasn’t too caught up on Petshop

They weren’t so popular where I live

[warm belfry]

Hahaha

[edgy mulch]

Oh wait have you seen the MH movie about an eclipse??

sorry going off topic for chat

[warm belfry]

Monster High as a bonding experience 🤝

[warm belfry]

YES

[edgy mulch]

It was so long ago that I watched it..

[warm belfry]

But it’s been a while

[edgy mulch]

yeah

[warm belfry]

I might rewatch it now, it’s calling to me

[frigid lily]

I love gen 1 monster high, especially the movies

[frigid lily]

I'm not diagnosed, but highly suspected ASD and I'm some flavour of gender queer 👍

[warm belfry]

I love the way you talk. Just wanted to put that out there

[frigid lily]
