There has always been a "middle" sex. Wherever the guy from the movie The Piano came from, i read an article about their middle natives back then. So it's nothing new.
But when i told my first t's that i felt like a neuter, back in the early 70's, they were like, "no you dont!" So they barely recognized it back then. Altho trans operations were pretty well know. But the university med ctr dr made me pull my pants down before she would sign my request for a marriage license, 1975. Ive asked around and apparently thats not usual. Dude, i was just doing my own thing. I coulda done without freakin menstrual periods though.
But i am intrigued by the autism link. You may have seen my posts about how i get almost physically ill just reading about someone not locking their car door. My dear dad drummed it into me that hard, is all i can figure. Like, people are racist (or not) because theyve had racism severely taught to them (or not).
So maybe those of us on the autism spectrum just didnt accept the gender message, for whatever reasons. Lack of relevance - this has NOTHING to do with train schedules! (to use a classic trope).
