Very interesting. Do we need to reframe the fight as "save the autistic kids".

Honestly I do think that's an important component of the issue, yeah. Mainstream media narratives that criticize the transgender movement tend to focus on women's issues to the detriment of every other minority or subgroup that is harmed by the transgender movement.

Not to say that we shouldn't talk about women's rights... just, let's also talk about how kids with ASD are getting pressured to transition, how LGB kids are getting pressured to transition, how straight gender-nonconforming kids are getting pressured to transition, etc.

If you could convince everyone that autism was higher on the victimhood totem pole then yes but their entire worldview is trans centric. They will move everything out of the way to keep themselves in the center.

Autism is a defineable quantity despite their constant self diagnosis attempts. Trans is amorphous so they can just move it around and fit their own whims.
