I'm transsexual and have aspergers~ D:

I think the connection between the two is intriguing. also.

I know of one FtM and sometimes s/he seems like she could be on the spectrum to me. I'm not really sure what she refers to herself as, she is starting to transition ASFAIK but still identifies as being a woman in most situations. I have the low 2D:4D ratio which can indicate Gender Identity Disorder and autism. I don't feel like a woman but I don't feel like a man, either. I don't feel like I need another option. I guess I'm androgynous but not in my appearance, I feel comfortable being a woman for all intents and purposes. I guess being a boring, dirty bisexual isn't edgy enough these days ,

It raised eyebrows back in MY day *_*

I somehow think AS can be nongendered because in some aspects they are not very differented. It is hard to explain, but it is like they didn have all those NT addon programs loaded in their brains. Likewise I think the same make us not "understand" social ladders or "realize" we should just socialize and like our own age.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I'm genderqueer myself. Transmasculine, to be specific. I'm physically female but my gender is butch. Not a woman, not planning on transitioning, but a kind of other. Transmasculine is my favorite label so far.

FtM transsexual here. I tried to use the lesbian term as an attempt to "connect to my womanhood" (and explain same-sex attractions openly), but I never could connect to lesbian identity or interactions (though I got some cool lesbian/bisexual friends), never could get into feminism (though since college through a close friend I'm seeing the saner sides of feminism). I'd wasted too much time playing a role, keeping secrets, that when I got to college I grew ambivalent about keeping it up, responding casually at the GSA that I could go by "either" pronoun, despite extremely limited understanding of genderqueerness and the fact it didn't apply.

Yep, I am. transitioned from male to female completely about 10 years ago (I'm 37 now) but now I've come to realise that gender isn't something i pay much attention to these days

I am Pangendered, which I suppose is similar.

I guess I would consider myself to be genderqueer, moreso in how I act than how I dress. I still dress according to my sex, but I don't at all act masculine. I don't care for masculinity.

Not transgender, but definitely non gender-normative. My friends are nearly all women, and I interact in a pretty feminine way.

I also have some transgender friends, and am very proud to say that I attended Jackson, Mississippi's first ever Transgender Day of Remembrance, and helped book Jackson's first ever transgender support group meeting.


Cheers,

I'm trans - FTM and have NLD.

I do find it easier to connect with other 'spectrumy' folks than with most NT transguys I've met at groups. But I have found the limited interaction in the group, once a month or so to be just enough to work for me around transgender issues that come up. We just don't hang out outside of that setting.

It is good to know there are several other transfolks here on WP.

Haven't decided on a gender yet Well, I *did* want to be a girl badly, but I'm not so sure now. At the moment, I'd be content just to be extremely bishonen... I would wear tighter clothing - I like the feeling, probably autism - but at the moment, I don't think I'd look good in it I'd probably say I lie on the more feminine part of the masculine half of the gender spectrum, if that makes any sense?

[tone=wistful]I'd love to be able to wear dresses, though, and look pretty.[/tone]

Transgirl, definitely. Girl, not a woman, wich I allso could be by my age. Im very intrested in the connection between transgender and autism spectrum. Alot of people everywhere say it's there, but I don't know where to find real data on that, not to mention understanding the actual causalities.

I'm FTM and suspect I am somewhere on the spectrum.

I'm somewhere in the middle of the gender spectrum, or maybe off it entirely--I fit male gender stereotypes and female gender stereotypes about equally well (which is not very well at all). As far as neurological gender, I'm in the middle there too; I have some skills that are typical-guy, some that are typical-girl, and some that are in between. As far as my self-image is concerned, gender is more irrelevant to me than anything else; I don't really associate "me" with "my body" that closely, because my body is more like my interface to the world, and "me" is the information stored in my brain that makes up who I am, and would still be "me" in any body shape. I identify as "female" (my birth gender) for convenience's sake.

I am agender - I don't really think of myself as any particular gender. Sometimes I call myself genderqueer and sometimes I don't really like the label. I tend to test out to androgynous or undifferentiated on tests like the MMPI and don't really pay attention to internet quizzes.

I am socially treated as a woman and female, and I go along with that because explaining that I prefer "they/them/themself" pronouns takes too much energy and that doesn't even count getting into how people tend to be very curious and ask a lot of questions.

Around transgender and genderqueer and otherwise non-binary people, all I have to do is say "agender, these are my pronouns" and people are good.
