That might help? I'd read it anyways..
I've even not too long ago googled articles about these labels to try and "keep up to date". But, for one, it seems like there's perpetually new labels. For two, I find a lot of them hard to really imagine, or distinguish from one another. And for three, I can't remember them all 5 minutes after I finish reading them.
I guess I'm getting old.
I wish my parents were like you . . .As completely hetero, I have had enough of isolation to have built for myself a feeling of generosity and acceptance toward diverse sexuality. Even now, listening to a man passionately testify against laws that would marginalize his trans daughter that he loves dearly, brought me to tears. I am so very weary of the creulty of NTs towards those they see as different. When a niece came out as gay I was one of the first to express my support and love.
I wish that people would realize that in this vast universe all we have is each other and act accordingly.
That is so nice, thank you, especially not being a parent. Through my life I have tried to be kind. Yet my mind/personality never let me explore my sexuality at the time of my life when NTs were exploring theirs. The bitterness at my isolation was damaging and something that I have only recently come to terms with. That is why I remain accepting and supportive of others and see in their diverse sexuality an honest courage that I hope avoids the mental dysfunction I experienced. I hope this makes sense.I wish my parents were like you . . .
I think its important to promote a culture of acceptance, its more for me than it is for you. I like me better that way, being accepting. I could not have got to where i am without some guidance.What I love about this forum is that most everyone is kind and considerate. Those that arent are generally just ignored. I try to follow that admirable trait. But sometimes I cant. What I really dislike are people taking cheap shots.
(not directed at anyone, post is an in general) oh wait, no its not.
Lucky you, that you can be glib about safe spaces. You have perhaps not ever needed one or dont care to admit it.
Saying you dont mean to be rude and then going on to make a comment obliquely suggesting mental health issues of people grappling with gender issues ist not on.
Perhaps you thought you were being witty?
I didnt think so.
Syrup on my pod. Really?
This is not about dissent or freedom of speech - or maybe it is. Namely: HOW do I say what I dont agree with? How do I promote healthy discussion and maybe learn a little something in the process.
Exactly! What we do not need are messages that diminish us in any way. Sexuality fills such basic needs for connection that negative judgements, or even uncaring messages, can easily make one feel damaged, rejected, and isolated. Basically, for me, to make any person feel that way is unethical. (But then, people acting as destructive, selfish, fools I judge harshly, maybe not overtly, though.)I think its important to promote a culture of acceptance, its more for me than it is for you. I like me better that way, being accepting. I could not have got to where i am without some guidance.
You are coming off as rude and condescending here.I do not get it either, and I don’t want to. Can’t see it from my front porch, don’t want to see it from my front porch.
Live and let live, whatever. I’m going to say yes Ma’mm and yes Sir and treat people with respect. I’ll take a stab at it when guessing if I should say ma’mm or sir and if I get it wrong then...well, whatever - never mean to be rude but I’m not playing by constantly changing rules by people eating Tide Pods in their Safe Spaces.
Also, as far as aspie people being a certain sex, all I’ve known in the aspie people I’m associated with is they are engineers or genius in one way or another but none of them get into this kind of talk about whatever this stuff is your talking about.
Want some syrup on that pod?

I am flattered @Skittlebisquit, and like the pun. I see people here reaching for clarity, struggling with, issues or trying to make sense of the world. So, I try for a clarity of thought and openness as this lets me be introspective about the path I have taken. For many things i still need to come to terms with my feelings. Part of that is a desire to be a better person for those who have made me feel loved and whole.I need lettering practice, for what you would call calligraphy, i think i just found the write thing to use...thanks @Gerald Wilgus i like the way you write

I’ve read what I said several times and for the life of me have no idea how you got rude or condescending out of my post?
Does it mean a person is rude if they do not agree? No I didn’t agree, but thought not agreeing was simply that and nothing more.
Okay, then you think that. I don’t think that, but okay. Have a nice day, wish you the best.

@Valzar; Thank you for the explanation. I actually was trying to be kind lol and keep it lite but obviously failed at that.
I do not get why so many people seem to attach sex or the new sexes (no, don’t know how to say it any other way) to learning about Aspergers and Autism. Yes I’m new here, but it seems from reading that the ppl that want to be considered non heterosexual want to coin being the only people that have this disorder or whatever it is, learning difference - call it what you want I’ll prolly screw it up but okay, I do not believe you have to attach sex to this unless it has to do with sex addicts which I’ve read about.
Maybe I’m on the wrong site, is there another forum for people that do not have to be gay to have Aspergers? Is that even possible? Maybe I don’t have it since I’m not gay?

At the most basic level, gender is a social construct and autistic people are notoriously bad at dealing with social constructs. So of course our experience of gender is a lot different than what the social construct says it's "supposed" to be.
