kasipana Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I don't really consider myself mogai but im curious  How is gender supposed to be interpreted if (for example, because im diagnoised) autistics experience/interpret gender "differently"? 😕 Link to post Share on other sites
Anthracite_Impreza Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I believe they are reserved for neurodiverse people who believe their neurotype affects their gender too much to fit into a 'typical' category. I'm autistic myself, but prefer to to go with 'confused flailing' Link to post Share on other sites
Nylocke Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 This is a new thing to me and I'm on the spectrum as well. Anyone wanna explain??? Link to post Share on other sites
no-longer-in-use Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Basically, neurogenders are genders that are heavily influenced by or can only be seen through the lens of the gender holder's neurodivergence. For instance, an autistic person may feel like their gender can only be seen through the lens of their autism, and thus is inseparable from it. They could consider themself neurogender and/or autigender. Link to post Share on other sites
kasipana Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Then... how is gender SUPPOSED to be experienced if autistics experience it differently  Like, I was born female, I know I'm female  It's different for NTs??? Link to post Share on other sites
Anthracite_Impreza Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The majority of autistic people just use the same categories as everyone else, neurogenders are just there because a small percentage of NDs find them useful. I wouldn't worry about it if you're happy as you are. Link to post Share on other sites
