a lot of people put "autistic person overexplains something" in the same bucket as mansplaining because they don't really care to differentiate and it's amazingly efficient at being both ableist and triple shitty to autistic trans women

feels like this is by far the most common release valve for leftists to be acceptably bigoted tbh

not to mention trans women really get a lot of "if you're autistic, you aren't *really* a woman" medical gatekeeping going in and people casually acting like autism makes you male really twists the knife on that one

on the plus side trans women are all really used to people power sliding in and deciding whether we're male or not by their own irritating arbitrary bullshit standards so at least it's not new

TLDR if you treat "autistic trans person who wants to help but might not know what you already know" the same as "man who thinks you're stupid" then you're being kind of an awful shitty person hope that helps

@kat Well if Wiktionary is right, the English definition was doomed from the start.The french equivalent (mecspliquer) is about a dude condescently "explaining" something to a woman about something he rather obviously doesn't knows shit about. (ie. contraception)

@kat as bad as it is to be treated like an idiot, would be super fucking fantastic if there were a hint of good faith around "you asked for help and I didn't know your knowledge level" or "I made a comment on something I know some about not realizing you're an expert"or just, like, not every interaction with a stranger of indeterminate gender is mansplaining

@lanodan i get where you're coming from but also the whole "men obviously can't know about birth control" thing kinda excludes trans dudes i think

@kat True but I don't think trans dudes are gonna be condescending and actually clueless in their explanations.
