Research suggests that people who have an autism diagnosis or autism traits are more likely to be transgender than the general population. One study found the rate to be two to three times higher in people who have autism. Also, a larger percentage of autistic people reported their gender as being something other than strictly male or female, compared to other people. Examples of gender identities included in that study were bigender, genderqueer, and “other.”

I’ll leave the full the article below in case anyone want to read it:

"Right behind that debut comes another, only this one isn’t exactly brand new. Former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson sees his single “Walls” arrive at No. 5, a lofty position for a tune that is nearly two years old. The cut serves as the title track from his solo album, and it was released as the last promotional title in very early 2020. Fans have rallied around the composition, and now it’s brought him to the Hot Trending Songs chart in what must come as a surprise to the musician himself."

Right now you have to be braver than you want to be. But in looking within yourself for the certainty you cannot find elsewhere you will, like me, discover new realms of strength you may never otherwise have come to know.

'Let me not squander the hour of my pain,' wrote Rainer Maria Rilke. Let us instead use our hour of pain to connect to our shared vulnerability, to own the fragility of our humanity, and to use the gifts that have been given to us—our talents, our time, our money, our creativity, our relationships, our social platforms, our courage—to weather this dark stormy time better and to emerge from it better off.

We owe that to ourselves. We owe that to each other. We owe that to our children who are missing out on the experiences we want for them and they want for themselves.

Whatever your creed, or even if you don’t have one, take a moment right now to lean into faith that within every adversity, to quote Napoleon Hill, “lies the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” Then feel the ground beneath your feet from which the seeds of new beginnings and brighter days will grow...

Let us lift each other up and rise to this occasion."

The blow-out success of the Brie Larson/Samuel L. Jackson/Reggie the Cat movie means yet again that the trolls had no effect on the film’s public reception. That means that, while they won’t stop shouting, we don’t necessarily have to give them a bullhorn or include them as serious elements of the critical narrative. What the Internet thinks about something, especially when it’s merely a handful of tweets or Facebook posts, isn’t indicative of the general moviegoing populace. If it were, Mad Max: Fury Road would have cleared $400 million global and Bohemian Rhapsody wouldn’t have been an Oscar-winning $878m-grossing smash. What this also means is that the folks over at Lucasfilm, especially Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams, can breathe a sigh of relief.
