Do some tall people have "profound tallness?" (This is an autism labels side-eye)

An egregiously bad post from a part of the "autism" community that I am starting to loathe.

There are many roads to what we humans view as “being tall,” but in the end, the outcome is, well, being tall. We don’t spend a lot of time discussing tall people as being “profoundly tall” or subdividing them in some way based on their tallness. We don’t have pages of handwringing in the news media and scientific literature about how to prevent tall people from existing or indirectly implying that aim by going on and on about causes.

... the conclusion is that, just like you can't say some people are "more tall" than others, you also can't say some people are "more autistic" than others.

Except both sides of that conclusion are complete balderdash! Some tall people are far more "profoundly tall" than others! The inconveniences (and advantages) of a 7'4 person are way different than a 6'2 person! There are a lot of studies about why people are over 7 feet tall! Every one of her arguments about tall people is inaccurate ... so how is that supposed to convince you that her arguments apply elsewhere?

But, of course, she's prepared for that. If you don't agree with her analysis, you're transphobic.

Some people diagnosed with "autism" today have a profoundly different life-experience, symptoms, etc, than other people. Apart from a cabal of dishonest, dead-ender, pro-disability advocates, I don't think anyone can possibly believe this crap.

20 years ago, the line was "reality has a well-known liberal bias". Unfortunately for these self-declared left-wingers, today reality is squarely biased against them.
