Even if gender incongruence stems from a person's autism, it doesn't matter. It's insulting to say' oh that person is neurodivergent, so their dysphoria doesn't count'. If there was a special autistic treatment that helped gender dysphoria then it would make sense, but there isn't. The treatment is the same, respect, support, gender affirming care, why is autism being allowed to become barrier to this.
Thank you for this thoughtful approach to this subject. The increase in diagnosis of autism spectrum has been used in America to attack gender affirming care and your thoughtful approach provides a different perspective that needs to be widely heard.
