Tries to be an aspec 101 but neither wants to engage deeply (because readers apparently wouldn't want to read that?) with any topic nor serve as a vehicle to any larger conversations or resources. Ultimately, feels more like a vehicle to their podcast than anything else 🤷♀️
(To me, the Harry Potter sentence is deeply funny (haha scary) because it reveals a real misunderstanding of what they've set up in that section on evaluating media with aspec lenses.)

Really interesting and informative even if I was primarily drawn to it from a desire to learn more about cis-centered applications of HRT rather than, say, better understand options for my health.
