What really got me onto it was seeing how a lot of autistic cis women (and sometimes not cis ones!!!!) parse and process gender and stuff. Aside the fact that autistic people have complex, funnier relationships with gender and sexuality... I think seeing that the average autistic cis woman is a dorky short haired bisexual who dresses like a 14 year old boy kinda busted everything for me, gender was so over. The intersection and comparisons between autism, gender and being trans was like, woah.
Honestly could not be more envious.
It's kinda based ngl, wife does a lesbian version of this bit. It is really cool, no lie, I feel so much less stressed just throwing on sweatpants and a tank top or whatever to go out. Jeans and a huge men's tee. (I got the men's t-shirt thing from cis autistic women) Uncritical support to enjoying femininity, of course, and early in your transition it's common to want to burn all men's clothes, entirely validly. I'm working on a theory for people later in transition experimenting with androgynous dress =)
