Comic About The Intersection Of My Transness And My Autism, & How I Don’t Really Understand Or Connect

comic about the intersection of my transness and my autism, & how i don’t really understand or connect to either gender or neurotypical behaviors.

the text reads:

“Girls have long hair & boys have short hair.” “But why?” / “It’s rude to not make eye contact when talking to people.” “But why?” / “You were born with this body which makes you this gender” “But why?!” / “You’re the only one bothered by the noise, you’ll have to deal with it.” “But why?!”

Growing up, I felt weird, different, and like an outsider because of my neurodiversity and my gender. But I was just a kid- / I lacked the vocabulary and information to understand or explain myself. All I knew was there was something wrong with me. This lead to a lot of suffering for a lot of years. As I got older, I learned that neurodiversity & gender nonconformity are not bad things. There are lots of people like me, and these things make me who I am. My experience of transness and autism are contingent upon each other.

I navigate social situations and gender in unique, non-conventional ways, and these are inextricable. My lack of understanding/compliance with social norms is also how I am with gender. To me, gender is just social norms…and social norms are confusing & made up. There are some recent studies showing the higher rates of autism and gender-diverse people, which is a correlation that applies to me & others I know. Basically, I’m trans and autistic and proud!

This Is From The Slut Walk. One Of The Arguments Is That Girls ask for Rape Because They Wear Slutty

This is from the slut walk. One of the arguments is that girls ask for rape because they wear slutty clothes, short skirts, tight, low-cut tops. This girl is an example of the fact that rape victims can look like anyone, you, me, this girl. Rapists. Dont. Discriminate.
