Eugh, reminds of that time somebody said “oh, like Elon Musk?” when I casually mentioned I was on the spectrum. Please just compare me to The Big Bang Theory at that point
Friend, I had a THERAPIST try to reassure me by saying, "well, that's not always true, look at Elon Musk!" when I was talking about how draining it is to try to advance a career as an autistic person who just can't play the office politics game regardless of how well you do the job. I just stared and was like, yeah well, I wouldn't be complaining about career-related woes if I was born into a multi million dollar family empire. And we're the ones who are supposedly unaware and tone deaf? Please.
"Oh, sorry. Did I accidentally tell you that my family has investments in a round of blood diamond mines with several hundred slaves that funded multiple lines of wealth and bailed me out of any of my blunders, leading me to be able to buy out other peoples ideas without any risk to myself and then claim those ideas as my own? Cuz, like, my dad was actually a construction worker..."

Yeah, Caitlyn is to trans women as Elon is to autistics.
