This might be a bit controversial and I have absolutely no evidence to back this up, but I have noticed that a huge amount of young ftms (11-18 usually) in my area have a lot of very similiar characteristics, they do not fit in with most of their classmates, they are all alternative and just look/act in a way that is not common, I’m no specialist so there’s no way to REALLY tell if they’re autistic, but a lot of them even claim to have autism themselves. The increase in female-to-male transitions has been pretty hard to ignore the last 2-3 years and I have been wondering if there’s something else behind it, especially since autism in girls/women is so underreaserched. I remember this one girl in particular, she detransitioned a while back, even though I’m pretty sure she wasn’t autistic, she had a WHOLE lot of other mental health issues and I just wish I could figure out what motivated her.
