In other news, found this amazing twitter @uktranswomen listing stunning and brave UK trannies and the thread is hilarious. How many pedophiles/furries/diaper fetishists can you spot?
Bongs are nearly as disgusting as trannies are to begin with. This is an entire new level of inbred degenerate filth.
If only we could round up all the world's troons and ship them to the UK, where they can just fester and die on an island as dreary and unwantable as their own lives.

The best part of this list is that the self declared "princess of TERF island" our dear friend from Philosophy Tube is absent. I love internet lolcows that think they have relevance in the real world.
The evidence for actual detectable neurological abnormality is a bit patchier, but a better evidenced, analogous phenomenon has been observed with autism. I think this is largely because the subject hasn't been as extensively investigated because there are fewer sex differences in presentation compared to autism, hence less reason to conduct studies. However, since (at least certain presentations of) ADHD and autism are not necessarily clearly distinct conditions, with there being clear evidence of etiological similarity (e.g. shared genetic risk factors), then whatever is true for autism is likely to hold for ADHD.
The logic is fairly simple as well -- men are more attention-deficient, so less abnormality is needed to produce the functional impairments that lead to diagnosis.
The interesting and central fact about the autism-troonism connection is that it is an essentially universal one, it cuts across country, age, sex and even time. The problem with most explanations is that not that they are incorrect, but that they don't really explain very much. To explain the constancy of the connection you either need to believe that it just so happens that by coincidence that all the age or sex-specific factors that drive troonism correlate with autism.
This is - in my view at least - unlikely, but it's also an inadequate explanation in any case, as it seems that the strength of the correlation between different risk factors and trooning out is in some way positively correlated with autistic symptomology. Therefore, there must be an underlying psychological reason directly related to the core psychological differences that define autism.
In my view the most likely reason is that deficits in social-emotional reciprocity produce abnormal patterns of identity formation, and it's this that explains not only the aforementioned universality of the autism-troonism connection, but also a lot of other notably 'autistic' behavior. In context of autism, 'Social-emotional reciprocity' can refers to the ability to engage in normative reciprocal social behaviors like eye contact, sharing interests, displaying appropriate emotional acknowledgements etc.. Social-emotional reciprocity is central to how we form emotional (broadly defined) bonds and come to share reciprocally in the mental lives of others. You can thus also simply refer to the psychological failure to build connections with others as a deficit in social-emotional reciprocity.
A core feature of autism is such a deficit in social-emotional reciprocity, this is partly a function of capability, as difficulties with perceiving and processing social information make it difficult for autistsas reciprocity consists partly in responding and you can't respond appropriately to what you can neither see nor understand. However, the deficits observed in autism aren't merely due to a lack of social adeptness, but also a lack of interest. In fact, it's often the case that the differences in autists as being primarily one of motivation borne of an inability to find this kind acts of social-emotional reciprocity to be inherently psychologically rewarding; they aren't interested in this reciprocal sharing of mental and emotional lives for its own sake. This comes out clearly when you consider concrete manifestations of this deficit in social-emotional reciprocity. For example, autists notoriously struggle with 'small talk', or phatic communication generally, but there isn't a specific failure of capacity per se. They can be quite capable of holding some forms of conversation. The problem with phatic communication is that it is an exercise in social-emotional reciprocity, because this isn't psychologically rewarding, they find themselves unable to know what to say for want of motivation.
The consequences of this difference in psychology are pervasive and usually much more subtle as in everyday life you have options, you can choose to do one thing or another depending on your motivations. Small talk is unusual in that it is an activity where there is only one purpose. The result is that you don't observe deficits in social-emotional reciprocity don't appear immediately as problems of social aptitude, instead they manifest in the broader patterns of an autist's social life.
A good, and highly germane example of this that provides a natural segue into differences in identity formation, is the common patterns of friendship that you see in autists. In particular, there exists a pattern, especially common amongst relatively higher functioning autists to be able to make friends, but not deep or 'real' friendships. The friendships they form are limited to the context in which they were formed; they don't see friends from school outside of school, and they often lose their friends or drift into another group when the circumstances in which they became a member of a group change. So, for example, when they graduate from school or even just when Summer/Christmas break happens then they quickly lose contact with their previous friend group. This happens not because of obvious social incompetence causing them to alienate their friends, but because their lack of social-emotional reciprocity meant they didn't forge emotionally meaningful bonds, or develop shared interests in a way that strengthened the connection they had beyond the original coincidence of interests or place. Therefore once the coincidence came to an end then so did the relationship.
The failure to be interested in social-emotional reciprocity means that their connections with other people tend to remain shallow, and often instrumental in nature. Their interests, goals, feelings are not formed through the act of bonding with other people, but are discovered or decided upon independently.
I think it is very obvious from here that you would expect that the way autists both constructed and deployed identities would be significantly affected. Doubly so, because personal identity doesn't meaningfully exist independent of others -- identities are how we 'author' ourselves in relation to others. Autistic deficits in reciprocity deny them an important means of forming a social identity, and result in other means of identity formation dominating. Additionally, because shared identity is an important way in which we form deep, broad social connections of the sort that autists often struggle to develop then you will observe particular patterns in how autists deploy identities. All of these are etiologically relevant to why autists, in general, are so likely to troon out.
Firstly, deficits in social-emotional reciprocity results in a failure to share in identities developed by friends. Often their failure to develop a positive sense of identity through social interaction is coupled with sense of "faking", mimicking or pretending to share in the rituals of identity developed by their peers despite the fact that they don't share in them at a psychological level. The result of this is that autists often feel "unsure of who they are", "just wearing a mask" or that they're "hiding their true self". This is notoriously common in autistic girls, but it's common in boys as well.
The identities they do develop will tend to be hugely influenced by the type of media they consume whether that is social or broadcast, books, manga, music etc.. Non-autists obviously do this as well, but the fact that interpersonal forces in autists are much less significant profoundly alters the impact and role of non-social influences in identity development. Moreover, because of the tendency not to form interests in common and have differences in cognitive style, the influences that they are subject to are likely to be different. The intensity is also often different; autists are prone to all consuming or obsessive interests which can then dominate their identities.
The identities that they are drawn to will also often be different, because of both impaired social intuitions and their reciprocity deficits. Identities are ultimately for social consumption, even if we don't actually proclaim them and simply hold them privately, our attachment to them is influenced by our intuition as to their prestige/status and the connotations we attach to them. Faulty, or at least unusual, intuitions about the social world will cause autists to be drawn to strange identities. Moreover, they may also act out or express an identity for want of social nous and not even see how they are being perceived. The classic example of all this behavior taken to the extreme is ADF/Ahuyiva Harel. However, more often it turns up as autists falling into weird subcultures, shit like highly aesthetic political ideologies, metal head, emo/goth, fedora/trenchcoat wearing atheism etc. are good highly visible examples of this.
These sorts of identities can also be incidentally functionally useful to autists, because they provide a simulacrum of the desired broad, deep social connections that they lack. Adopting a prefabricated, all-encompassing identity then they can find themselves escaping that uncertainty over their sense of self, of either "faking" who they are, and potentially of loneliness generally. This works out doubly well because the communities that grow up around these communities are so full of other similarly autistic people. It's worth noting that this don't really cure their deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, it just mask some of the consequences by removing the need for developing shared interests or engaging in any sort of compensative behavior. In a way the identities serve the role that special interests serve in enabling autistic children to find friendships.
From this it becomes very obvious why autism is the one abiding comorbidity to troonism across lines of sex, age and time even beyond the presence of other underlying risk factors like some form of autogynephilia, social isolation/failure, anxiety issues or gender non-conformity. Although some such factor generally is invariably going to be present as this abnormal identity formation pattern isn't going to produce troonism problems on its own. This isn't usually too much of an obstacle because some risk factors seem quite common in autists and these days the places where autists gather end up infested with troons.
surely they cant expect of people to use these ridiculous neopronouns irl right? but then again these people don't exist outside of the internet so maybe thats a non issue
