According to the feminist group FEMSOC, short for Feminist Society, “being autistic is a feminist issue.”
In an article published by NUI Galway’s student newspaper, writer Emer McHugh makes the case in a piece called, “Is there anything as strange as a normal person? Being autistic is a feminist issue.”
The main theme of Ms. Galway’s article is that there needs to be more autistic women in popular media and “cishet-white-males” are ruining the life of autistic women worldwide.
“Over the years,” Ms. Galway writes, “I’ve mentally collated the reactions I get when I come out to them, and they all stem from the dickish-yet-brilliant-cishet-white-male template that we’re all used to.”
She continues, “It’s led me to conclude that autism is terribly gendered, and that it is a feminist issue. An autistic woman, it seems, doesn’t compute.”
The fact of the matter, according to Ms. Galway, is that “aspies of genders who aren’t cis white men get lost in the shuffle.”
Apparently Ms. Galway has done no research as to why men might be more often shown as autistic than women. The true fact of the matter is that males are five times more likely than females to be autistic.

Cis <trans> het <homo>
So, "Normal straight pale-male", the patriarchal oppressor of womyn everywhere.
Born heterosexual
AKA, straight
Why is it that they don’t want men to paint and draw?
I would wager a lot of posters here have Asberger's tendencies.
Do these freaks spend all their time -- when they're not out inventing some petty grievance -- conjuring up ridiculous labels and phony class distinctions?
“cis” heterosexual white males... aka the left’s favorite target. The “cis” is a prefix they invented to distinguish normal people from trannies. It’s often used as a slur, though the feminists and lefties will deny they intend it that way.
You realize what they’re doing with those labels, don’t you?
They’re avoiding the concept of “normal”.
Cishet means you are not allowed to disagree with hir. You are only allowed to capitulate to the opinion s/him holds until s/him doesn’t.
All, remember, if you control the vocabulary
you control the narrative.
These are all terms introduced to control
the narrative.
By the lexicon, ye shall know them.
I think they do. Leftism inherently rejects the value and dignity of the person. Everyone has value only in a utilitarian sense ... what can they do for The State Almighty today. Since individual persons have no value as such, they are uninteresting as such ... they must be stuffed into some kind of box. Consider the "Meyers-Briggs" personality test. It's a pseudo-scientific way of stuffing people in one of 16 boxes. Leftists love this crap. It's easier than thinking.
Back in the day, normal.
Thanks for posting that — exactly my thoughts and exactly why it needs to be challenged every time it’s done.
"Cishet" means "Shut up, you stupid contemptible normal male!"
Interesting!!
Get with it.
cis- hetero-white- males
you know, the source of all evil and suffering in the world....
“All, remember, if you control the vocabulary

Ding! Ding! Ding! Here is a winning comment! So true!
I never heard of this word, and I’m going to pretend I never heard of this word today, and Mr Webster back in the day probably never did either. And if he did, it would not have been this application. ... but of course, I could be wrong.
Translation: Normal people.
