Only a tiny percentage of respondents chose “other” for the gender question, and not all typed something into the text field. But those who did give a stark picture of a divided America. There are those who consider themselves nonbinary, gender queer, transgender, gender fluid, or demi-boys on one side, and those who say “Gender is bullshit” or “nonbinary is a fairy tale” on the other. Reading these responses, it becomes clear why the Republicans used slogans like “Kamala Harris is for they/them. Donald Trump is for you” during the 2024 election and why those slogans may have been effective in reaching at least part of the U.S. population. The anger in these responses to the gender question in the CES leaps off the page of the datafile.

The simple question is, “if autistic women are ‘women’ why are they so male coded?” It couldn’t possibly be that we assign “male” or “female” in a somewhat arbitrary fashion constructing gendered categories that are built on layers upon layers of social technology. No, this is not what is going on. We are not having term confusion where neutral autistic traits are typecast as male and the more autistic the trait, the more male it is. That is absurd, that would create a weird reinforcing feedback loop that would essentially mean the only way to be autistic would be to be a man, oh wait, I think I might be undermining my own point here… alright I’m just going to try land this plane.

This is a hilarious post on psychiatry and gender. Yes, it is sarcastic, and good-natured at that. The motivated reasoning and self-referential arguments are the point: that’s how gender and psychiatry are constructed. :P
