What article?Hello AP, do you by chance have a link to the article, so we can read it as well?
That doesn't seem to be the definition used by trans gender indivuals who write on this subject and who identify as Transgender. I have had it explained to me that Transgender is an identity people use to express that they identify as a gender other than what they were assigned at birth. This could range as identifying opposite of your birth gender, or as nonbinary, which means that the person doesn't identify as either gender in a dominant way.
This seems more like a simplification and a misunderstanding of the views of Trans people. Many that I know personally and have talked to on this subject transition socially or physically based more about specific issue they are facing, or wanting to express.
I think this has more to do with the individual transitioning and why. Not to mention that the percentage of peo0le who detransition is a minority in itself.
This seems more anecdotal because most of the Trans people I know orbhave met have not been on the autism spectrum. Those that I know who were didn't expect transitioning to cure or change their nuerodivergance.
Do you by chance have a source for this? None of the Trans Men I know or met transitioned because they thought it would be socially easier to be a man.
This is the same as the Autism one, This doesn't seem to match up with the magority of Trans people.
I think your conclusion comes from a misunderstanding of Trans individuals and why they transition. I think you might be assuming too much on intent and less about getting information directly from Trans people.
By your logic I should get information about homosexuals from homosexuals. As they are psychologically in need of help they are not a good source.
