In a flyer for an autism group by the main lgbt organization in The Netherlands, COC.

Translation:

LGBT and also autism? Lgbt+: lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. The + is for EVERYONE ELSE who feels different. Do you also have autism? Then you might feel weird in two worlds. At autipink those worlds come together and we will make sure you feel fully at home.

So if I feel different because I am a terf, I am welcome here? It’s a group for autistics, they really should be more specific with their wording.

Autism is a sexuality now? 🤣

Science brain says, different from whom? Different implies a baseline or comparison group?

the "woke" brigade use the term "neurotypical" as if it has any objective meaning. It doesn't, it's just a statistical artifact... I hazard that there isn't a single person alive who is "neurotypical" in that they think/feel/etc right on the median or average. What they really mean is "those boring people that I imagine are boring, boring, boring."

Please, please can we go back to LGB without anything tagged on? Please? Being same sex attracted and feeling different to other people (we are all different to other people) is not the same thing.
