Autists are disproportionally online. This matters for two reasons.
The first is that on the internet you can easily assume any identity.
The second is that the trans lobby has much stronger control over online than offline spaces. The pattern is clearly visible in this thread. Views that you might hear from "the man on the street" are flagged or downvoted.
- spicywatermelon 6y agoIf "the man on the street" shared their views when evaluating a transgender person's job / grant application that would invite discrimination lawsuits in many jurisdictions. That's an IRL flagging.
- im3w1l 6y agoOh certainly. But this doesn't change my point. That autists and neurotypicals come across different perspectives due to the differences in how they socialize.
