Gender Critical Autistics

We are a group of gender critical autistics who have created a platform to speak out about the risks of affirming the dysphoria of autistic children.

Who are we?
We are a group of autistic adults, concerned at the current affirmative action taken with autistic children who are struggling with the gender stereotypes forced on them from early childhood.

"It also highlighted to me - what are autistic children supposed to do with this new ideology? They absolutely cannot see (past) the facts [...] I fear that autistic people will find themselves being targeted because of their black and white thinking"

The whole thread on GIDS/Tavistock is worth a read, but in particular:

[Hannah Barnes @hannahsbee]

The report highlights the high % of GIDS patients with autism spectrum disorders. 28% young people assessed were referred for medical treatment. But, “records showed that the service may not have fully investigated or considered the needs" of autistic patients. 17/

Professor Gillberg previously described medically transitioning girls as "possibly one of the greatest scandals in medical history" and predicted that in 20 years' time quite a different view would be taken.

“Transgender and ‘LGBT’ organisations should never have been given the authority to issue guidance for schools which normalises the idea of medical intervention as akin to changing clothes and pronouns.“

[TransgenderTrend @Transgendertrd]

*New post* The High Court has found that use of puberty blockers is 'experimental' treatment. Time to get rid of the schools guidance that promotes it. Affirmation & social transition in schools is equally an experiment on this generation of children. https://t.co/LdW6c4Md7l

To advocate the stunting of the pre frontal cortex (the decision making part of the brain) of autistic children to be followed by chemical sterilisation via cross sex hormones is good, yet writing a book to encourage 3-6 yr olds to love their body is bad?

Tavistock’s puberty blocker study published.
Hopefully the start of real change that will protect children from unnecessary treatment.

Congratulations @Kate_Scottow80
A fair outcome!

You can only imagine the "annoyance, inconvenience and anxiety" for this mother and student being arrested, locked in a police cell for 7 hours, having her computer and phone impounded for months, then being tried, convicted and fined.

We believe this would contribute to a more measured approach that means these conversations can take place without risk to those of us who disagree with the current gender beliefs. @Autism @scottishautism

[Gender Critical Autistics @GCAutistics]

A large proportion of girls seeking to transition are on the autistic spectrum.

As autistic adults we know all too well the difficulties faced by autistic children and teens. @Autism @scottishautism

[Gender Critical Autistics @GCAutistics]

We suggest involving older autistic women who experienced similar distressing years without being pushed into life changing medication and surgery. @Autism @scottishautism

[Gender Critical Autistics @GCAutistics]

The current gender narrative has been largely accepted amongst autism organisations and professionals, leaving very little freedom to discuss gender critical views.
