I agree with the idea that ASD people are less rigid about gender identity. At 76 I am firmly straight. And I don’t think it’s social programming. In assessment I recalled my dismay at first developing breasts. Nothing to do with wanting to be male but, as a female in the early 60s, having a sense that I would lose freedoms and be expected to behave a certain way ie. Ladylike. I was a tomboy.
I have an androgynous body with broad shoulders and narrow hips and still wear mens trousers because they fit better. I have in fancy dress worn male outfits. Fun and curiosity but not a desire to be male. In relationships, friendships I have never felt sexual towards other women. That’s why when it comes to gender changing treatments I am on the side of caution when it comes to treating young people under say early 20s utilbthe brain finishes developing. That is not deny young people from being addressed by a different pronoun or dressing as they want. I just feel physically changing bodies before a person is fully grown is unwise.
That's close to me, because I had good reason to cheer when the High Court clipped The Tavistock Clinics wings. Their arrogance in the Reassignment issue is simply a continuation of their "authority" as Freud's final home: I suffered because they had my data at the top end and blocked me from the support all other children at that level received. In fact, they leaked my data to my peers which left me completely ostracised forever. I've had normal peer relationships in work, and to a limited extent in outside life, but no good long-term friends from my home community - even in my family. I learned the truth when I was 60, too late to do anything about it, too hurt in the difference in realities to look to the future. I've given one heck of a lot to make make this world a better place, and all I got was insulting BS (arising from ignorance of their subject) in the diagnosis. It was the same at the very start - they knew but didn't say. Ever heard of informed consent? It still happens, Craig Wright still advises not telling the kid lest he become conceited. Bugger that, if the poor sod's going to be pulling stunts most of his peers can't get the faintest handle on (Cassandra Syndrome) then he at least has the right to know why and how.
Your physiological approach is the current legal one, there've been enough who've regretted it later for the High Court to take direct control. The family's not the place, in many earlier societies there was a mentor outside of that circle. Mine was the husband of the Guide Commissioner for the South East, in his own right Father of the Chapel of the Financial Times, while in School I was in protective measures under the School Sergeant, so seriously involved in the Admin. By the time I was in University it was clear my path was introducing the military to the excellence of Peace. All wars end in peace, they're just an exercise in wasting resources. So get to the objective fastest and demonstrate that whatever your rivals try, you've outmanoeuvered them. Technically, Musashi's Empty Hand technique.
As far as Rome's concerned, I was Jonahed into position to have the ArchiAssociation (HQ) of the Eucharist land on me. Some numerologists saw it coming, but lacked the faith to be charitable about it - their loss. The biggest question in my mind is WHY. The hope of salvation through grace, in repentant confession and in their own terms, perpetual adoration, that's significant. I sussed "why them" in particular, but that just made it worse that they failed. Essentially too much was asked of them as fallible humans, but at a higher level, God's Vicar on Earth must meet that challenge, it's possible. In fact, Matthew 6 is my anchor, I'm not buying any of the flim-flam hogwash, I deal with the Boss directly, it's been properly tested, and Lord alone help me. Our father, give us this day our daily bread, the substance of faith from the Lord as much as physical victuals. Matthew18:8 is serious, and suggests the Petrine Mandate, On this rock I build My Church, has been suspended. Bergoglio is accused, with evidence, of collaboration with the Junta while Archbishop of Buenas Aires, in the "disappearance" of the children of the Mothers of the 5th May Square. Children who were sent on one-way helicopter trips into the middle of the estuary of the River Plate. Skydiving without a parachute. The water's as hard as steel from a few hundred feet up. How can a normal human believe? The local church here had to be replaced because the priests were caught kiddy-diddling. The answer is that the Boss is undeniable. The Holy Father, less so: Leo XIII, Holy Father, Anna de Meeus, Mother Superior General, Camillo Pecci, their child, Capo di Guarda Nobile and Nepote gatekeeper to His Holiness, happy families indeed.
