Children who believe they are transgender 'could have autism

Post Reply New Topic

I honestly don't think sex changing surgery for transgenders should exist. What if they are feeling the way they are feeling because society will not allow them to act beyond the western gender stereotypes of male and female? Changing somebody's physical sex will not do that and that person will remain an outsider.
Just adopt the idea there is male, female, male-female, and female-male. No one had to pay for expensive hormones and society accepts the notion of a guy who has a doll.

I have an idea. Some people my not like it but I go on anyway.
I believe, lets say there are boys the don't feel right in their body, because I personally hate my body too as it makes me all kinds of pains and s**t, and they may go like "maybe if I was a girl the body would feel better", which it won't, because it's the badly wired >autistic< body which is kind of annoying them, regardless of gender.
The other theory would be that they can't identify with ANY gender. so if they are boys they want to be girls and if they are girls they want to be boys, not because they can't identify with their biologic gender, but because they can't identify with the concept of gender. I don't know, maybe they want to neutralize their gender, which a gender reassignment would do nicely, as you are neither considered a full blown boy nor full blown girl at the end, but something "in between". like the genetic gender and the given gender neutralize each other, and they don't have to identify with either.
I'm personally very confused about my actual gender, but I take it as it is: mere confusion and indecisiveness. I'm not going to get a surgery or anything just because I'm mentally "genderless". The whole gender stuff don't make sense to me at all and I think that's a thing with autism or PDD.

There was an article published in a popular Canadian newspaper that said trans activists may be targeting people on the spectrum.

For my part, I believe that trans people are mentally ill and that it is as foolish to seek to transform a biological male into a female or vice versa than it is to transform an autistic person into an NT. It's better to try and support them into accepting what they are without reservations. The trend of giving grade schoolers hormones in particular is destructive and disgusting.
