Every tranny lolcow ever has an anvil jaw, 5'oclock shadow and look like a caveman with a wig. Not only do they never pass, but they are always the most masculine ones that decide to troon out. But why?
I was listening to MATI, and Jewrsh was talking about the autist-to-troon pipeline. Most trannies are autistic, this isn't news either. So autism, masculinity and trannies, how do they all connect.
I present to you: The extreme male brain theory:

TL;DR Autists are exposed to abnormal amount of testosterone in utero and this affects the brain. Well, actually it affects the appearance as well:
So what do you think? Puzzle solved or am I being autistic.

I present to you: The extreme male brain theory:
The ‘extreme male brain’ theory posits that people with autism process the world through a ‘male’ lens and take an interest in stereotypically male topics, such how machines work or weather patterns. And they may have trouble with tasks that women are supposedly better at, such as grasping social cues.
Over the years, the theory has garnered support — and derision — from autism researchers. Here’s everything you need to know about how the extreme male brain theory came to exist, the evidence that backs it and the controversy surrounding it.
What is the extreme male brain theory?
The theory is based on the idea that men and women differ in fundamental ways, and that the differences lie along a continuum. Subscribers to the theory assign the term ‘empathy’ to the female end of the continuum, referring to a constellation of social skills, such as the ability to intuit others’ emotional states.
At the male end is the tendency to ‘systemize,’ or to recognize patterns and understand natural and technical systems, such as the weather or a computer.
The theory broadly proposes that autistic people, no matter their sex, tend to be at the systemizing end of the continuum — that is, they have an ‘extreme male brain.’
What are the theory’s origins?
In the mid-1990s, British researcher Simon Baron-Cohen incorporated tests of social intelligence and pattern recognition into his autism studies. In the general population, these tests show sex differences: Women tend to perform well on the tests of social intelligence, whereas men tend to excel at following rules and recognizing patterns. Baron-Cohen found that autistic people generally have trouble with the former but do well with the latter.
In 2002, he proposed the extreme male brain theory of autism to account for these findings. He and his colleagues then developed a pair of self-report questionnaires to measure systemizing abilities1,2.
What evidence backs the theory?
Last year, Baron-Cohen’s team analyzed responses to these questionnaires from 600,000 people, including 36,874 with autism. The results suggest that autistic men and women both tend toward systemizing.
Baron-Cohen’s other work hints at where this tendency may originate. Some people with autism may have been exposed to elevated levels of sex steroid hormones, such as testosterone, in utero, he says. Excess testosterone may alter the structure of the developing brain in ways that affect thinking patterns3. But studies from other labs question the link between excess testosterone and autism4.

The extreme male brain, explained
The ‘extreme male brain’ theory suggests that autism is an exaggeration of systematic sex differences in ways of thinking.

TL;DR Autists are exposed to abnormal amount of testosterone in utero and this affects the brain. Well, actually it affects the appearance as well:
Recent research from Bangor University has revealed a new spin to a long-standing theory of autistic spectrum disorder (ASD).
The ‘extreme male brain’ theory proposed by Simon Baron-Cohen, speculates that ASD is a consequence of elevated pre-natal testosterone levels. In a study recently published in the journal, Clinical Psychological Science, Naomi Scott and colleagues at Bangor University’s School of Psychology investigated the possible implications this has for a physical appearance associated with ASD.
They created two sets of composite images made up of the facial appearance of individuals scoring high and low for symptoms of ASD. When these images were rated they found males with more symptoms of ASD to be rated as more masculine in appearance.
This finding not only lends support to Baron-Cohen’s theory but also connects physical traits and behaviour through hormonal effects. The implications of this are two-fold; firstly from a clinical perspective they demonstrate the existence of facial traits associated with ASD that are identifiable by untrained observers - that males with ASD are hyper-masculine in facial appearance. Second are social consequences of these perceptions. Highly masculine males are perceived to be dominant and aggressive, characteristics not in tune with the classic perception of individuals with ASD.
Naomi Scott, who completed this research as part of a PhD funded by the Economic and Social Research Council said:
“One of the consequences of ASD is impaired social skills and these findings suggest an additional barrier for individuals with the disorder to overcome. We make assessments about an individual’s personality from first glance using cues from facial features, which we then use to gauge how to interact with that individual. If these cues don’t match the person’s behaviour, the interaction may be jilted from the offset, amplifying existing social skills problems for individuals with ASD”
So what do you think? Puzzle solved or am I being autistic.
