What's the real reason for this?

Even if you don't wonder about this, college students who don't have a thesis topic are already looking at it.

>Only 7% of cis men are autistic
there is no way on earth that is accurate

>be autistic
>can't imagine a world of people with their own needs and lives exist
>want girlfriend
>can't understand why to want girlfriend because that's a different person
>become transgirlfriend

Maybe talk to people outside of your local speedrunning scene

Isolated people have more time to self reflect.

Much to think about

Like 0.something% of people worldwide have autism. Half the kids being diagnosed with autism/ADHD/fibromyalgia is an American issue to push amphetamine sales.

Normies have no theory of mind, that's why they make statements as idiotic as your example. They just can't imagine anyone having different wants that are also coherent so they say idiotic things. Religious bigotry is the same way.

Gender dysphoria is actually much more common than what we generally think (I think it affecting 25% of the population would be a gross underestimation).
But most people just repress. The strict gender roles that society enforces helps with this repression (this is why so many mtfs are former chuds and detrans people typically run to the right). People with autism have far less considerations for social normals, so they just happen to be much more open to transitioning.
So in reality, autism is only overrepresented among trans people because it lowers the mental barriers to transition. There is no actual, direct link between autism and gender dysphoria itself.

If we lived in the Star Trek future. I can only imagine that trans people would have an even greater level of acceptance than even gays enjoy. Since such a massive % of the population would be free to finally accept that category, rather then running away from their dysphoria.

idk but I'm an autistic tranner and I have an immense love for autistic boys.

I am dating one right now. And I want to inundate his life with love.

This. How often do you see "cis" men saying things like "everyone has thought about being the opposite gender at least once" or "what would you do if you woke up and were a girl for a day haha just a thought experiment"? Every single one of them would be happier transitioning. I'd estimate like 40-60% of cis men being like this

They do. Right now. And it's a huge problem that often gets swept under the rug.

>>40831100 (OP)
no shit of course there's a higher level of autism in these people duh That's why they're like that

its actually

>10% in cis men
>15% in cis women
>75% in both types of tranny

if you saw a psych when you were young, and you were even slightly shy or introverted, you got slapped with the autism label

>27,919 participants (5.4%) indicated they had an autism diagnosis (cisgender males=13,317; cisgender females=13,934, transgender and gender-diverse = 668).
that's interesting, the numbers on the image are completely different to the numbers in the actual study

Because the part of the brain that does gender is inside the part of the brain that does autism.
It's the same reason autistic children don't usually understand gender permanence until late teens (as opposed to 5-8 for neurotypical kids).
This shit has been studied. At this point there's not a single MRI machine that hasn't taken a picture of trannybrain and autismbrain to figure out how normiebrain works.
