I've met a lot of people with genuine autism and they are much more than just socially awkward; in fact they generally tend not to function or communicate well and they don't seem to give two shits about their gender identity. It's not even near the realm of things that concerns them.

And yes, I realize it's a spectrum and there are high-functioning autistics. Not all of them are like Rain Man, I understand that. But these trannies aren't it. These trannies are either people with a real delusional mental illness, or they are simply people with narcissistic personality disorder who crave psychotic levels of attention. Most of them these days seem to be in the latter group.

They don't have autism and to say they do is a disservice (and an insult) to actual autistic people.

I think most of the Trans-karen and online types you see in the public eye are essentially narcissists along the AGP idea.

I've met a couple of autistic trans and I think for them it's more along the lines of social contagion and them trying to cope with their inability to understand normal human social interactions including those that surround sex. They don't crave attention in the same way a narcissist does, they just like anyone else want friends and relationships but it's more difficult for them to form them since they don't have the same intuitive understanding of human relationships and instead have a hard time parsing the often contradictory relationships between human social structures stated rules vs the normally unstated social expectations.

I think it happens a lot to women with autistic tendencies now since it's usually something that was diagnosed primarily in males untill more recently.

For the male autist then forming sexual relationships is quite difficult and it takes them longer to learn the rules, I knew one guy that really liked tits and skimpy outfits would talk about that with dates with no sense whatsoever of what was and wasn't an appropriate way of wording it or venue, didn't make sense to him. He learned eventually but took him a loooong time. Doesn't help that most people who will make friends with autistic and other people with mental conditions tend to be others with similar conditions and kind of lead them on down abnormal directions.

It would be of little surprise to me then that an autistic straight man with an obsessive interest in the female form and fashion would after struggling to form sexual relationships be open to comments like "this actually means you are a woman because men cannot be interested in the female form and women's fashion" and not realize how fucking stupid it is to assume that straight men aren't going to be mesmerized by clothing designed specifically to entice men.

I can't even understand gender identity. It's all a social construct that doesn't mean anything, so why is it such a big deal?

I don't think it's a social construct, at least not totally. I think the process of human evolution over the past hundreds of thousands of years has definitely had a hand in putting men and women into specific roles. As a result, women on average tend to be childrearers and caregivers, and men on average tend to be providers and protectors. We see that reflected today in people's chosen careers, where women dominate fields like nursing and childcare and men dominate fields like agriculture and security.

As for gender aesthetics, where there are differences between how men and women dress or act or carry themselves, I think that's much more of a social construct. Though I do think there are faint echoes of our evolution to be found there as well. E.g. men's clothing tends to be more about function and women's clothing tends to be more about form, which is somewhat in line with our evolutionary roles.

But we live in a much different world now than our ancestors. Gender roles are no longer critical to the survival of the species; we've transcended beyond that. And I think that's part of the problem because while gender roles serve less of a purpose now, they are still kinda programmed into us, and that is causing a lot of confusion.

or they are simply people with NPD

There’s already a study with a high correlation between GD and NPD; over 50%. But of course they won’t share studies like this.
