How are the gay community picky? Do they think that some people are not gay enough?
I do not think that someone could not be aspie enough for us. We are all different.
Ha
People have no idea what rough is. I have ADD but have an extremely high IQ, I speak and act with a air of high intellect, but I am also a high school drop out. I am probably Gay, but act so masculine and straight like most gay men think I am a basher setting them up, so many times I have been told I can't possibly be gay by gay men. I hunt and go fishing so I am a killer I am told, or an animal abuser, by the gay community at large, nevermind the fact that I have 2 dogs and a cat I rescued and they won't leave me side. I am in the closet and told I need to be out, because I am not true to the gay community in my closet, I am also told I live a lie, because I am closeted by gay men. Gay men say I am sexy but dangerous because In have a NON-Gay job, Private investigators and Baill Agents are never gay I am told. Only people like the Dog on A&E can be bail agents, and anyways I am too quite and not loud mouthed like him and too reserved. I am a christian so that's obviously NOT gay.
If you have been rejected by the gay community, don't fret, you are probably too well adjusted to be Gay.
I own a Subaru, I hope that would qualify me, but that Monster truck I own cancelled out the Subaru.
Sigh
I would have thought gay people could come from all walks of life so it is disappointing if even the gay community stereotypes who should be "gay" and who shouldn't be.
Does anybody have the issue where they are happy with the gender they are physically but feel that they got a mind that should have belonged to a person of the opposite sex. This is how I feel sometimes as I often don't seem to find much common ground with the societal stereotype of how a woman should act, think, and look.
I have resigned myself to living near Lake Superior in a National forest area, I am happier here than being near the gay community. It worked out because I made it work. But it would be easier if I had someone, that accepted me for who I am, instead of trying to mold me into something that I can't be.
As far as you shall I say mentally being somone other than your physical body would indicate, it something that might have made me stay straight lol. It's the mentality of most women that has kept me in the distance. I find myself very attracted to women who are no overly emotional, think only with emotions, a rational woman it very attractive, so many women today strictly act on emotions. You may be like those sexy tough pioneer women that helped make this country. The pioneer men would not have done so well without those women backing them up. My mother is really tough, and I have yet to find a really solid woman in our society, I am sure they exist, but I think they are few and far between due to how cushy our lifestyle has beccome.

Yes, I consider myself to be gender neutral.
I am happy being physically female and in a straight relationship, but I cannot say that I identify myself as female. My brain is far more male than female. I have felt this way since I was a child.
I have always prefered male company (I have no idea how to talk to a typical 'girly-girl'), 'male' interests and male activities. It never occurs to me that it is odd to be a female with qualifications in blacksmithing and welding, until I mention it to a stereotypical woman who then looks shocked!
As my friends (all blokes except one) would say, 'you aren't a woman, you're a Ceri!', or in the words of my boyfriend 'I can talk to you like a bloke, but you're hot and you have tits. It's great!'.
But that is often the opposite for male aspies, we (or at least me) find it easier to befriend females.
I think that NT women are often quite empathatic (one of the reasons they confuse me) which would mean that they are more accepting and understanding of a person who is a bit different. When I was in my teens it was a group of geeky girls who befriended me (despite the fact I was 'Crazy Ceri') when nobody else would.
Some NT men (especially teenage boys) can be very cruel and narrow minded and will often avoid or torment anyone who is different to them. I know that more boys than girls bullied me at school.
I should point out that my friends are all intelligent sensitive males in their 20s, none of whom could be classed as 'normal'. I don't think I would find a bunch of meat-head football hooligans quite as accepting of me! In fact I'd rather take my chances with the women!
I'm not gay myself. I've thought about it, and have come to the conclusion that I really like women. I don't really see how my life would change, except that I'd feel the need to read Walt Whitman more then I do now.
How would my lifestyle change if I was gay? I don't excersize, read fantasy, science fiction and poetry of the romantic era (Lord Byron, Percy Brysse Shelly, William Blake), listean to rock music and watch Heroes and Lost. My ideal career would be running a used book store or working as a writer. I don't and will never have "a good body". If I were to become gay how would other gay people look at me.
And on a completely different note, why don't gay men have there own word? Gay women have there own word (lesbian), why don't gay men have there own word?
Which is homosexuality, RIGHT?! The previous post I made certainly is relevant to the main subject dear sir.
well, yes, I did assume that you were talking about sex, anyway.
Perhaps we could make it a bit more general ( rather than asking a specific person this question?)
You know, explore more than just sexual positioning, but rather gender role issues.. and common myths, or misconceptions...
What are we going to do to solve this conundrum; and what could be causing such a low birthrate?
I don't know but this stork is delicious. Ha ha.
I personally don't like hearing graphic discussions of any kind of sex...it can give me really vivid mental images that I don't particularly like.
i kind of believe that because society rejects us so much throughout our earlier years...well...we appear *different* and therefore easy targets for playground attacks...many aspies completely reject most social norms...so anyway, gender can become meaningless, sexuality becomes an annoyance, and i completely understood the *queer sexual* quote, i myself am pansexual, i dress as a girl (i'm a boy) and like girls and other boys who dress like girls...pretty fucked up i guess...lol x
Actually, I've been having odd desires to completely forgoe gendernorms, start wearing dresses and maybe have a homosexual relationship. I've also been wondering if I'm bisexual, or if I just want to be bisexual because I think it's cool.
I've also wondered about becoming a hermaphrodite or androgynous being.
Wow... a lot of this is way outside my experience of being just plain ol' vanilla, ordinary, run-of-the-mill gay...
It probubly comes from being to into Gnosticism and Hinduism or stuff like that.
I hated the persecuting-kind of Christians before I was one, so I try my utmost to be a non-hating Christian.
A hating Christian is a doomed Christian.
Passage 1 John 3:15:
15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
Did Jesus say that? If so, it would have more legitamacy then Leviticates.
Also, to Earthmonkey. I like your story. It seems like something I'd like to write, as it has a strong anti-normal thing, especially the bit where the teacher coldly tells you what's wrong to you while looking into the computer series. Sorry if it looks like I'm treating your work like it's literature.
Hello there, this is my first post here after googling 'aspergers lgbt'...
I'd just like somewhere safe to escape to when I feel alone...
Welcome to AFF ocampo! It's safe here 
Perhaps, noting the responses of aspies in such a forum to data is also part of the study? And the reactions here confirm what has long been believed: That aspies d not like change and also prefer to wallow than to take action to help them selves.
Does simply commsierating with fellow aspies do anything to help you? As you know, aspies are very likely to stay locked on a computer and have chats than to actually go out and meet people in the flesh.
So, I would suggest that you sod off, log off and go out into the world and meet new people today instead of exchanging bitter emails with each other.
And I am saying that as a doctor. Or are you so deep into your AS that you'd prefer to stay and type?
I find your comments here disturbing actually. What sort of doctor tells people to sod off? How strange is that?
What are you talking about-what does 'so deep into your AS' mean?
You show very little understanding of AS despite your claims.
Your 'research' reflects this and so do your posts.
