"she has Asperger's and that's a MALE brain"

As someone with Asperger's, this line of reasoning really pisses me off. Just because I'm non-neurotypical and not so good at social situations shouldn't make me less of a woman. If I truly had a male brain, I'd be a trans man. Not to mention that it's about as bad as the "we only use 10% of our brains" in the Sloppy Neuroscience Journalism department.

My gender dysphoria stuff was initially misdiagnosed a Aspergers (I didn't believe it for a second, but who am I to know my own gender identity? [grumble grumblr I hope everyone has their sarcasm detectors on]). I'm a trans man. I think the people who make the definitions need to look long and hard and what constitutes an autism spectrum disorder and make sure the definition is clear enough that it can't be so easily confused with gender.

Not to mention I know trans women who have Aspergers the "extreme maleness" meme, is a really shitty metric.

AYRT I know it's not true, sorry if I implied otherwise. I meant that it's a stupid excuse that I've seen for women being good at "manly" pursuits. It was a very popular theory for a long time, proposed by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen (father of the actor) and some psychiatrists still use it, which is just plain harmful.
