Radiate 146 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 my little brother keeps saying he wants to be a girl. hes begging for us to buy him a black wig so he can become a girl (we will of course to stop him nagging) honestly i think its just because he grew up in a house full of sisters that he doesnt want to be left out he has words but he cant really hold a conversation unless hes telling you what he wants lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAT BOI 52 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I don't know the particular situation your brother is in, but I absolutely believe autistic people can be transgender or have gender dysphoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himbo 3,213 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 yes, it all depends of the level of hormones in the person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurachinaDisuko 3,721 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes...? I don't see why him being autistic can stop him from being transgender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiate 146 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes...? I don't see why him being autistic can stop him from being transgender like hes very autistic, tantrums barely talking only uses words when he wants something has to go to a special school for autistic people plus hes going through puberty atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight 1,108 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 It could be like you said, but I don't see why an autistic person couldn't be transgender. I have autism, and I'm not transgender, but I definitely wouldn't see a reason that a person with autism couldn't be transgender the same way that someone without autism can. I don't see why autism would counteract that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boooo 2,469 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I don´t think you would find a response here that would help your brother. If you want a real answer ask that to professionals about the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larme 3,478 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes, but you should probably ask a doctor or professional- just to get more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Quatro 1,441 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've always thought the gender is more of a social construct so I can understand why you're wondering. I don't know how a sever autism would affect the development of identity in a person so you should ask a professional as no one in here seems to know what they're talking about.

Suzy Quatro 1,441 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It's not because he does not speak much that he doesn't have conplex thoughts I mean wtf???? Of course they can be I don't think it's a matter of developing complex thoughts and correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding someone with that degree of autism is someone pretty much with no interest at all into socializing. This must alter hugely how they create their own identity as identity it's intrinsically related to culture and the environment. So I think this girl's theory of him trying to imitate his sisters is a very valid point given his condition and deserves to be examined by a professional in the matter. Developing and forming our own identity is a process that has place through social interactions but it's also something that can be learned and this boy is in an environment in which he's surrounded and interacts mostly with all his sisters, so there's a chance he's learning through the process of imitating them; and while he doesn't have a desire to socialize his family does and in this case is through them that he's been integrated to society and building his identity at the same time.
