Autistic girls much less likely to be diagnosed, study says
By age 20 diagnosis rates for men and women almost equal, research finds, challenging assumptions of gender discrepancy
Something to take into account on #InternationalWomensDay: Females may be just as likely to be autistic as males but boys are up to four times more likely to be diagnosed in childhood, according to a large-scale study. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

When people angrily lectured a woman for days and threatened to murder her pet because she gave her neighbours some chilli.
(The neighbours liked the chilli and reciprocated with other favours).

In the rare cases where the news are reporting on the attack of Hannah Spencer, they're framing it as 'the Green Party say the men were shouting transphobic comments'.
The aggressors were wearing sandwich boards with transphobic slogans, this isn't fucking rocket science lads.

@ukparliament.parliament.uk Why is nobody talking about Hannah Spencer, MP, being attacked yesterday by unhinged far right lunatics in Manchester yesterday? Why isnβt the an inquiry in the huge failing by GMP to properly protect an MP? And why has GMP not made any arrests?!!?

The men chasing and harassing MP Hannah Spencer were 'gender critical'.
So they're all just quietly pretending it didn't happen.

Green Party say 'Hannah Spencer won't be silenced' after Manchester violence
Hannah Spencer, Gorton and Denton's newly-elected MP, was ushered into a police car amid the unfolding chaos
The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.

if your approach to a fascist movement that has successfully captured the state is "healthcare providers need to effectively combat misinformation!" you have already lost because the fascist state will try to force healthcare providers to spread the misinformation

Yes! This.
When the 'gender critical' movement first emerged, I thought they genuinely had concerns and wasted years showing them facts and discussing with them.
It achieved less than nothing and i'm 90% that debating them legitimised their imaginary 'fears'.

I met someone recently who went to an event with one of Streeting's siblings who confidently assured my friend "oh he's not transphobic at all- he's playing the long game".
Well, a bunch of young trans people are dead because of his long game so forgive my skepticism.
