Hello, I apologize for not realizing about the problems around the use of the term ‘female’, thanks for explaining.
Yesterday, I just learnt about Feminine autism after a neuropsychologist mentioned it to me. He said ‘feminine’, because of the gender-cultured reasons contributing to underdiagnosis in women and LGBTIQ individuals too.
That’s the reason I am doing my best to understand by reading in communities as r/AutismInWomen, and noticing the need for safe spaces due to issues with the male autistic community.
Still, I just would like to note that some individuals new to minority-based communities may be new to the language on itself and have this double struggle with social interactions leading to “double exclusion” in certain situations, e.g. in the LGBTIQ+ community.
I promise my intentions are not bad, but I can struggle for hours to communicate a simple idea effectively and still do an epic fail. Sorry.
Oh, I would like to clarify I could see from the very beginning that the intention behind your message was ensuring this community was a safe space for people who had to escape from harmful ideologies.
I feel ashamed of existing and I struggle with socializing because of past experiences, not your messages. In the first message, you were trying to defend others. In the second message, you told me the problem behind the word.
However, due to my difficulties fitting in and experiencing breakdowns everytime I try socializing, I have to accept once again that it’s best for me to step back.
Again, it’s nobody’s fault. Thank you all and have a good weekend.
