It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

The last one is undeniable for a subsection of transfolk. The "neurodivergent, isolated kid on 4chan that gets programmer socks and starts their transition" path is well known.

    Autism and trans has a huge overlap. Explanations and Interpretations for this vary.

    Discussing this and the pipeline you describe will quickly get you banned from many places around here.

    I'll leave this comment in place in order to debunk it.

    You are misquoting the study you have referenced. A read of the abstract showed zero consideration of whether there was any correlation between autism and trans.

    Please don't post misinformation!

    The common overlap between autism, elevated autistic traits, and gender identity diversity has been reported in both clinical (de Vries et al. 2010; Hisle-Gorman et al. 2019) and community (Strauss et al. 2017; Walsh et al. 2018) samples. In the largest study to date, the odds of an autism diagnosis were more than six times greater among transgender (or broadly gender-diverse) individuals than among those who were cisgender (Warrier et al. 2020).
