So intersex, which is not a sexual orientation but a developmental disorder, has been represented by a ZERO. And did they ask for this?

I wonder if for the pedos they'll put stick figures of adults and children holding hands.

Which color is for diaper furs? Which color is the demiboy aromantic pansexual fluid....

I want OFF this flag. You know that expression "let your freak flag fly"? I think this might be that freak flag.

To be honest it would be more honest and accurate to add stripes or symbols that represent:

  • Mental illness
  • Narcissistic Personality Disorder
  • Borderline Personality Disorder
  • Histrionic Personality Disorder
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Social Media Addiction Disorder
  • Massive Obnoxious Dickhead Disorder

I'd wager about 80-90 percent of people who say they've got autism spectrum disorder (especially in the QT community) are self-diagnosers who aren't actually autistic. Actual autistic people are then convinced by these narcissists that their gender-nonconforming is actually a sign of being trans, and they trust them because they think the self-diagnosers are autistic themselves.

Please don't demonise and associate autistic people with the rest of these narcissistic, attention-seeking creeps.

I suspect you're right because autism seem to be seen as something cool amongst teens who spend all their time online but clinicians who work with people with autism are also reporting high levels of trans identification among their patients, largely teenage girls, who as we know are most susceptible to social contagion. Also, I don't know how it is in other countries but here in Australia there is assorted funding and assistance available to kids with autism that isn't available to others, so some parents are actually pushing to have their kids diagnosed, ridiculous as it sounds.

I'm from Australia too, and thanks to COVID, I was able to get my diagnosis quicker as an adult, because child diagnoses were stopped for a while (since it's difficult to get children on the spectrum to keep their distance for a longer period of time, I'm guessing?). I'm able to get assistance myself, luckily, and I'm glad others can get funding as well, but I have the feeling many self-diagnosers avoid getting an official diagnosis because the truth would shatter their narcissistic delusions that they're intersectional and special.

i think to destroy anything other than the rainbow flag, demand that the "progress pride flag" include the 300000 garbage sexualities on there along with the 9 million genders. Then lecture them when they tell you how ridiculous that is and start crying about them "gatekeeping" and making everything "exclusionary".

I had a read of some of the MRI studies of gender dysphorics (Savic and Burke) and the areas they found a difference in tend to pop as abnormal in studies of anxiety and autism. The IFOF is the biggy.

Open-access Autism Spectrum Disorders in Gender Dysphoric Children and Adolescents

Why scan the brain when you can get a traditional clinical assessment?

I think we already know ASD are super common in GD cases.
