Masculinity and feminity

There’s no denying that physically I’m male, but when it comes to online tests of femininity and masculinity I inevitably score much nearer to the former than the latter.

However I’d be out of place in both a typical male or female night out. I wonder how much that is due to being autistic. It doesn’t help having poor social skills/being socially inept and having problems when it comes to daily practical tasks. If I was to change sex tomorrow I’d still be as inept as I am now.

80% of Transexuals are autistic apparently.

Edited by Bowens upon request to reflect that the claim that was made ended up being that 35-40% of trans are autistic upon labratmatt further research.

It really doesnt matter if you aren’t “typically masculine” as a man. Just be yourself.
Lots of people are slightly GNC - its nothing to be ashamed of.

When there were recent outcries of a hospital giving puberty blockers on the news there was a doctor/psych who did an interview and came out with the statistics about it. He said that 80% are autistic and the remainder were made up mostly of serious sexual abuse survivors.

I just relayed what I heard.

I’m in the undifferentiated quadrant. Ie., I’m low in both male and female traits.

I’m not surprised.

More like 80% autistic are transsexuals not other way around. And basing it off of what one doctor observed?

High in both female and male traits. Not sure what to do with this information.

Aren’t most gender traits conditioning by societies and cultures? I dunno.

i don’t like / can’t stand either extremes.

No, that is not what he said. He definitely said that 80% of transexuals are autistic.

If you go by the autistics on this site then there is the gender confusion of the Original poster and Moon who is also autistic. The rest of the autistics I notice on here don’t have gender issues, so by anecdote your statement is wrong.

Intersex is a different ball game.

He was a specialist working in gender reassignment at the hospital.

What are we supposed to do with this info?

Dunno how they can arrive at such conclusions with the types of questions asked, but here we are:

Here’s mine…but to be honest, some of the questions I wasnt sure how to answer. I’m not sure how accurate this test is, especially when people are unsure.

I think mine said 70 some male and 50 some female. I shouldve snipped that section as well.

As far as some of the statistics about transexuals and autistics being thrown about, it might be better to have some articles/studies to back up any such claims made.
