If you missed @social_parasite's podcasted discussions on their collaborative and individual studies on autistic gender diverse adults' experiences, not to worry. Links to both talks below. Katie has also posted links to both studies on their website: https://t.co/BsO3aJC98x 👇

Trans people are loved. By us. We stand in solidarity against rising attacks on trans rights.

Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.

We do not ascribe to the notion that inclusion is a choice between the rights of cis women and those of trans women.

“In my opinion, all autism professionals should consider carefully their own positionality, and any discussion around changing or revising the diagnostic criteria should include autistic clinicians, particularly autistic psychiatrists”
