I think a lot of TIMs and TIFs are themselves on the spectrum.

Probably very true. Transgenderism is essentially used as a coping mechanism, an unhealthy way people who are struggling with personal identity issues deal with their problems by fabricating a newfound (and tenuous) identity. It's no wonder that mental health issues are often diagnosed in trans identifying individuals.

One of the dirty little secrets the trans lobby don't want the public to know is that suicide rates are unaffected by whether one has transitioned, even in accepting, supporting environment in a liberal country with relatively strong trans rights activism. They want to be able to continuously spread the lie of "YOU'RE LITERALLY KILLING US", screaming it any time valid criticisms of the trans movement are voiced, all while ignoring the fact that suicides in the trans community are tied to those underlying mental health issues, which are going totally unaddressed as people now transition without basic medical oversight (or "gatekeeping" as they'd like it called).

Transgenderism is essentially an ideology that promotes the embrace of delusion as a panacea for their underlying mental health issues. Trans people are their own worst enemies, health-wise.
