What is Genderbility?
genderbility is a lived experience-based zine for young autistic and gender-diverse people. genderbility is unique in how it embraces intersectional lived experience and prioritises the needs of young autistic gender-diverse people. This project works to help an underserved and underrepresented group, through the values of community care, compassion and grassroots organising in a creative and accessible format. Moreover, this project represents the capacity for autistic gender-diverse individuals to self-advocate, thus going against the narrative of infantilisation that is very popular in resources aimed towards our community.
