I am so excited about this! I'm one of your gender detatched aces and it was really affirming for me to hear that this is a common experience for other ace people. I hope your research continues to get a lot of attention and broadens societal conversations about gender, which I feel deeply alienated from.

Did you collect data on autism/neurodivergence? I have the same theme in research on people who detransition, with this theme most prevalent among afab detransitioners, many of whom are autistic.

I am definitely going to read through your paper because it interests me. But, based strictly on what I read here it seems like this idea is already covered by existing ideas, notably agender and gender apathetic. Assuming the paper doesn't touch on this, do you see a notable difference between these and the idea of gender detachment?
