Thread that GA cannot lock. Debate continued in here. GA's Diaper time...

[Christopher McCandless]

what kind of legitimacy does she need to prove? you're the one claiming to know what's best for us all (with your aspie cause and all that)

Like evidencing pretty much any point in his argument. Its weaker than a religious sermon at the minute, proofwise.

[Christopher McCandless]

Your lack of logic means that you can't prove anything. Next.

GA is the one who needs to prove legitimacy, not me.

You don't see it as a problem that nobody considers your opinions to be legit?

Contempt of the group he claims to represent.

Hardly - most people with AS off the internet share my view on this. I2 or any other online site is hardly representative of people with AS, by any margin.

hardon i think a lot of us don't like the fact that people might associate our AS with people like you

works both ways you know. at least GA has the guts to be open about beig trans. can't say the same about you and your AS

The AS people I meet in meatspace are not that different from the AS people I meet online.
And the people I know off-line (with confirmed dx) come in various ways. From car-washer, to teacher, to environmental specialist. I don't think I could sell the ideas of yours to any off them. For as far as you have been clear on them, that is.

Are the people with AS that you know off-line representing all kinds of social layers in the UK? Or do they all share your background, your way of using language and your basic ideas on anthropology?

If I started hallucinating that I had, say horns on my head and then went around telling the world about it, I think it would be called stupidity or insanity. Certainly not couragous in any respect. How is GA's line any different to that one. Apart from having a PC correct bandwagon attached to it, of course.

is GA claiming to have strange physical abnormalities that are invisible to everyone else?

Most the people that I meet with AS agree with me - and would far rather have someone who can get things going forward like myself respresent them, than the likes of GA. I think if you look at the thread on Duncs Drivel, pretty much none of them agree with GA. P managed to even put together a funny video.

Certainly he is. Though fill in my example with hallucinating that I am say black and try again.

[Adam]

GA isn't claiming to be physically female...

OK, I mixed up threads, this should be in the one about your ideas and plans, (but that is partly discussed here too). This post was not on how aspies would see GA. I don't know how people off-line would react on GA, because they don't know him.

I do know that I have not heard remarks from them about aspies having to be straight and stuff to be real aspies.

The aspies on Duncsdrivel are online.

So asking you this again: "Are the people with AS that you know off-line representing all kinds of social layers in the UK? Or do they all share your background, your way of using language and your basic ideas on anthropology? "

Oh - so if I decided tomorrow to copy black culture, I would not be derided? And rightly so.

Why, then, did you flickpass GA's callout in this online discussion forum to a thread on a different online discussion forum, one which is (presumably) no more authoritative than this or any other site?

[Osensitive1]

Yeah, this whole thing has branched in so many directions, even off the site, and may contain history beyond personal knowledge. Hard to understand today and seem to be without mood to anyway.

So he's Autism Speaks.

I felt they offered a more balanced discussion on it - moreover it proved my point that a few people agree with me, who also happen to have AS.
