What i do think is mad is that John Money who managed to make "gender" a widely accepted term in this context was a New Zealand supernonce who managed to nearly get a woman lobotomised and mis-diagnosed her as schizophrenic for years, then managed to persuade the parents of a botched circumcision to get the lad gender-reassigned as a kid then abused him and his brother for years

But the word still stuck. Mental really

My understanding, from a couple seminars I watched, is that people diagnosed with ASDs are statistically more likely to identify in gender fluid or non-binary fashions. My cousin was assigned female at birth and was diagnosed with autism as a child and, for the last six or seven years, has identified as a man and has been undergoing some kind of gender affirming medication or some such.

Not sure how this correlation differs across ASD diagnoses, but in general I can see how socialization-related cognition is foundational to one's identity in regards to social constructs and labels and whatnot.

The sex/gender thing is hopelessly confused. Feminists introduced the distinction to highlight the narrowness of available social roles but gender is useless as a free-floating signifier that can mean anything.

without mentioning that I've met @mixed_biscuits in the flesh, and I can honestly say he is one of the most feminine men I've ever met.
