| Abstract | Autistic people are more likely to be transgender, which means having a gender identity different to one's sex assigned at birth. Some transgender people experience distress about this incongruence or gender dysphoria. Few studies have aimed to understand the inner experiences of this group. In this study, we used Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to understand the lived experience of gender dysphoria. Twenty-one autistic adults were interviewed about their experience of incongruence between their gender identity and sex assigned at birth, and any associated distress. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. Participants described significant distress because their bodies did not match their gender identities, their need to understand their identities more broadly and to manage complex intersecting needs. Participants experienced distress due to living in a world which is not always accepting of gender- and neuro-diversity. Participants described barriers in accessing healthcare for their gender needs. Some participants felt being autistic had facilitated their understanding of their gender identity. Other participants described challenges such as a tension between their need to undergo a physical gender transition versus a need for sameness and routine. In conclusion, there can be both positive experiences and additional challenges for autistic transgender people. (As Provided). |
