I definitely tend to get along with men better as an autistic woman. It was worse trying to get along with other girls as a kid. I don't think it's entirely an innate biological sex difference, I think it's mostly a socialization thing, but there is so much toxic social BS normalized in mainstream "feminine" socializing. Especially among young girls. We talk a lot about toxic masculinity, but there needs to be more talk about toxic femininity. As an autistic person, my natural way of speaking is to be very direct. This is accepted among men, but criticized and shamed in girls. This is probably the primary reason I have anxiety.

I have some female friends who are autistic too and love talking to them, and I'm unabashedly a nerd and find female friends into similarly nerdy hobbies, but it's a struggle for me to get along with most other women. I never considered the possibility of transitioning, I just eventually became comfortable with and proud of my own form of femininity. If I'd been indoctrinated with trans idealogy young it's possible I might have wondered, though I've always wanted children so giving up the ability to get pregnant isn't something I would consider lightly. That's onto another topic but it annoys me how outspoken people advocating a childfree lifestyle are, especially people implying it's somehow not feminist to want children. It's a choice every woman should feel empowered to make for herself and it's not a possibility that should be thrown away without careful thought. "So you're saying women should just have babies?!?" Uh no, sucks how little some people understand nuance these days.
