How did not wanting to have sex with human beings from one community in particular become a legitimate preference?

I think my brain just short-circuited. How can someone write something this absurd and not realize the absurdity of it? How did we get to the point where someone not being sexually attracted to you is a civil rights issue? Is this the autism talking? Or is it more pathological narcissism? I mean, I know someone with Asperger's and have seen him struggle to understand other people's feelings, but this is some truly next-level emotional illiteracy at work.

In any event, JUST KEEP TALKING, SWEETHEART. You're only digging yourself a deeper hole, and not one I'm interested in getting anywhere near.

NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO HAVING OTHER PEOPLE WANTING TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU.

I wish people would stop lumping autism in with these narcissists. Sure we struggle with understanding people and their emotional needs but most of these people are socially, emotionally bankrupt narcissists. Not autistic or aspegerian.

I get what you're saying, and I apologize if I caused offense; however, statistically, there is an unusually high percentage of people with high-functioning autism who are getting drawn into trans ideology.

And I've seen my friend with autism do all sorts of intellectual reasoning about other people's behavior that sounds logical the way he lays it out, but I listen to it with a sinking feeling, knowing that he's coming to all the wrong conclusions because even though he's very smart in many ways, he doesn't have an intuitive understanding of how other people's feelings work. It often ends in tragic situations for him.

I think it might also be the prevalence of co-mordbidities in autistic people. Most have some kind of mental depression or anxiety (I certainly do), not to mention social isolation that may be as a result of the co-morbidities or because of our difference in behaviour.

As a result, when they see how accepted and championed trans people are, and add in a dash of autistic gender-nonconformism due to not having an inherent feeling of what is expected of X or Y gender, they're easily sucked into the ideology since they think they'll finally belong somewhere and understand themselves better.

I personally thought I was genderfluid and demisexual for a hot minute in high school, and even thought at one point that I was a trans man because I preferred to wear men's clothing, which is generally more comfortable than womenswear. I fear for the me who might've been born ten years later, where I would've told that yes indeed I was a transman and I would've damaged myself beyond repair.

I can understand all that and yeah everything you're saying does break my Heart. The brain washing of high functioning seems plausible as I've under gone brain washing to another degree. So I can understand all that. It's just frustrating.

It's not an attack on autism or autistic people.

No I got brain washed in my 20s to hate my mom. Autistics can sadly be very trusting and naive.
