Because they prey on us. They prey on people with not only Autism, but Downs Syndrome as well.

I'm sorry this is happening and hope that you are safe!

I remember reading something about transgender natal males grooming vulnerable kids, calling them "eggs" and "hatching" the kids - I think the egg thing was even a sub Reddit -anyone else remember this?

My mom thought I wanted to be a boy in the past, but other people think "are you sure you're not trans?" like lol nope. I also do recall the egg_irl sub or whatever it's called.

It was common for girls to want to be boys when I was growing up, but no one actually thought we could become one and most of us grew up to be fine. I feel so bad for kids today.

I do as well. I'm glad I was born just a few years before these teens and children.

I was gender non-conforming too, but a lot of the clothes I didn't like to wear as a child were impractical ones, namely skirts and dresses that I wouldn't be able to play around in as robustly, as it would reveal my underwear. Imagine being a child at school and seeing boys' pants halfway down their knees half the time and not understanding why that's okay, but girls couldn't play on monkey bars or swings lest someone (boys or adults ugh) sees their knickers.

Even throughout late childhood/early adolescence, I fought my mom into not wanting to wear dresses. Late adolescence was when I got over that, but I still prefer wearing pants over dresses.

Same here. Although I do like dresses or skirts if they have big pockets, which seems to be a (lovely) trend these days ☺️

I love dresses and skirts with big pockets as well!
