It's #AutismAcceptanceWeek and we had a chat with Katie Munday about the benefits of online spaces for trans autistic people and what people can do to make both online and physical spaces more inclusive.
"The intersections between being a trans & autistic person couldn’t be clearer. My experience was trenchantly invalidated because under the cisgender and neurotypical gaze, we are drained of any agency, autonomy or say in who we are." Fey
"Being open from the start of the appointment about the emotional side of my request made it easier for me to communicate, something that can be hard being autistic, instead of trying to find the right words to say after I was already upset." Gage
A quick reminder this #AutismAcceptanceDay: Some people are trans and Autistic. It doesn't matter why. What matters is that Autistic trans people are valued for who they are - just like any other trans person or any other Autistic person.
