terfs keep mentioning the % of autistics who are trans/nb and that we're 'brainwashed'

and because i'm an asshole, i decided to look into why so many autistic folks are trans/nb. it's not an inaccurate statement, at least the first half, but terfs lie through their teeth so i decided to get to the scientific root of it.

the answer blew my fucking mind.

the study on gender and autism i found said two very specific things about autistic people: we are more mentally resistant to things like social conditioning and binarism. we like our secret third things, y'know.

an excerpt:

“The finding that non-binary identities are most elevated seems to support hypotheses focussed on autistic resistance to social conditioning, which are consistent with existing evidence of the same effect with respect to self-description of sexual orientation. Perhaps elevated rates of trans identity in autism might result from a rejection of the binary cisgenderist norm, which combined with a below-typical concern for social norms could promote the disclosure of the identity.”

94% of autistics surveyed for that paper identified themselves as non-binary.

other studies have found autistic people have higher levels of critical thinking, and require more evidence to maintain or convert to a belief system (hence why many of us eventually fall away from religion) than allistic people.

which means, at least from my perspective, that:

a) the 'brainwashing' terfs are accusing the trans community of inflicting on autistic folks would likely not even work if they tried.

b) the current binary definition of gender flies directly against embedded autistic modes of thinking to begin with.

you cannot brainwash someone into thinking something they already believe.

Been a while since I made an art. Been a rough few years on the ole creative juices. BUT I got a new computer, and downloaded firealpaca and I dicked around for a bit and spit out some "official" art of this dude I've been kicking around for a bit.

So here is... a boy. Shade is technically a villain but he wasn't always (and he may not always be). He was once a hero! He has a super power (super strength basically) and a mutation called Vampire (which is horribly misnamed because he's more like a fruit bat biology-wise). He wasn't super popular back in his hero days what with being noctural and preferring to work on his own. Now, of course, almost 20 years and a series of personal traumas later, he's pretty jaded and spends most of his time tripping up and stealing from the agency he once worked for (and also.... romancing one of their golden children, a healer hero with a bit of a bite named Seraphim). He may come back around from his thieving and quiet mayhem if those in power that are corrupt get knocked down. For now though, this is just a snapshot of his past, not his present.

My first DnD character, a 6'8" Tabaxi bard named Tricking Treat! He is a diva, extremely gay and a little dumb. His instrument of choice is the Hurdy Gurdy and his grandma is an Orc named Zhoog. So far, all of his magic items are for the Aesthetic, including his hair pomade of 10,000 styles which allows him to Stay Cute even in the darkest of caves.

my content is not, and never will be, meant to be relatable to TERFS.

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. 

If you are a TERF/gender critical/associate with people like this then my content is not yours to interact with and you will be blocked.

Stay off of my blog. You aren’t welcome here. Tell your TERF friends too.

Finally felt like drawing again. Drawing all my anthros. Ichabod, Skelly, Chess and Con.

Drawing snarly werewolves is super relaxing. Harlan about to take a chunk outta someone who broke one of his teacups.

Had a little bit to doodle so worked on this guy, Harlan Brink, my incredibly large (6′10″) and chilled out wolfman mob boss. His mob crushes other mobs/gangs/drug lords/human trafficking rings and takes their money and other shit (and frees and helps anyone in need of it) and then uses that capital to build an ever expanding underground network for displaced supernatural (and human) folks. 

He can’t change back from being a wolfman due to suffering a nearly fatal amount of damage during his first transformation. He was able to heal, at the cost of returning to humanity when the moon set. On full moons, he becomes aggressive and tends to knock himself out with a large amount of sedative and sleeps it off. 

Collects music boxes (his “dainties”), smokes cigars endlessly, really wants everyone to get along, incredibly laid back, half his underlings call him some variation of “Dad”. And that’s what he is. He is Dad. Everyone’s dad. He’s also your dad congratulations you now have a dogfather and he says to do your homework and eat your vegetables.

Do not tag as me/kin/any other characters. Do not repost anywhere.

why net neutrality matters, in two images

[hearsepower]

Morgrim, a dragon-turned-man-turned-back-into-a-dragon-eventually. He is (prince?) consort to the steadfast Queen Alana, and father to her son, Prince Algrim (who are both @woodsypuca’s). 

Morgrim is an interesting character because his physical description has never stayed very consistent and it’s only recently that I’ve been pretty solid on how he presents himself (being that how he appears as a human is a construct of his own magic most of the time). I’m finally pretty happy with how he looks face-wise. I’ll get around to the rest of him eventually.

A really rushed test doodle of an old character, Chessian. Mostly just playing with human facial structure and some makeup/jewelry ideas and getting his hair how I wanted it.

Piddling around with Ichabod’s hair. 1st is canon hair, tweaked to where I actually like it. 2nd is what would happen if he let Baxter cut his hair. 3rd is permtastic. Might do some more of these who knows...

Reworking Ganthe again, considering making him a centaur. A centaur with ridiculous ice magic skills and a luxurious silky tail.
