Any other trans-aspies out there?

Being Bigender is so

I am also FtM. Being an aspie with transgenderism isn't so uncommon. There might be a correlation between the causes of transgenderism and autism.

I haven't started surgery or hormones yet, but I would say I am read as male about 90% of the time. I've always been perceived as my actual gender which helps a lot. I do have top surgery scheduled with Dr. Brownstein this upcoming summer. Super excited!

It's hard when a lot of people tell me that, by having a double mastectomy, they say I am "mutilating myself".

But why is it socially acceptable to have breast implants for no reason but its not acceptable to have breast removal to treat life-long gender dysphoria? And I mean, by no reason, beast implants for cisgender women who already have C cup breasts. If anything, it is the cisgender women getting unnecessary plastic surgery that are mutilating themselves.

Hang in there, everyone.

Heylo. I used see myself as transition FtM but things are never simple enough to understand with all this gender stuff. I recently came to the conclusion that I am probably FtGQ or Ft? or something like that. I am Genderfluid/genderqueer/genderless. I prefer to not give myself guidelines to follow according to gender, considering it's social constructed and differs over society.

It was difficult to see myself as just male or just female. I like to see myself as kind of in between as well as neither. It doesn't help that my family is not supportive and my friends and teachers are stuck seeing me as female. I usually appear to be male to people; it's more comfortable, but I am not defined as it. I get dysphoria, though. Saving up for top surgery.

A lot of trans people I know have AS or are on the spectrum. I noticed this a while ago. I don't think there's necessarily a significant correlation between the two that leads to a higher probability of being one if you are the other, but I've just noticed it is all.

I think that males typically tend to be viewed as more pragmatic and less emotional. Which is why it would be important for trans-aspies to assert both identities when they're met with sexist views about those typical behaviours.

Yes. Biologically female, pass as male.

You're quite right. I met a few on trans-related events, and also a friend's husband is FTM, and I can only remember the ones I've met being cool to hang out with.

I'm fine, thank you. It's nice to have an accepting trans partner as well.

She's MTF, Arab, Christian. Pretty empathic and good at reading people. We srtarted being friends, but then we chatted beyond that and we've stayed close for a really long time.

And about going to a trans-group, I think people might be a bit suspicious if it's obvious you're just an observer, but less if you're at least L/G/B yourself, but it's just my opinion.
