Theory-function the theoretical foundation of Hypermodernism argues that DESIGN follows function. Form is oriented as contrapositive to function.

Low functioning neurotypical

A low end NT tend to operate at the lowest level possible in life, never able to hold down a job, and will revert to the scummy hustles. They usually will be a kleptomaniac often even towards friends and family. When they come across a mentally impaired person already hooked on dope, it's a jackpot 4 them They may pressure 1 to trade a new PS4 remote like a 5th of a gram of crack, acting like it's the deal of the century. They want u 2 think 1/4 gram of dope w a 5 min high is in ur better interest than a stack of budget games that can provide dozens of hrs of fun. More often than not, a high end autistic individual operates at a higher lvl in life with the creativity and knowledge base being stronger than low end commoners. With the strongly held moral codes of ASD folk, they are less likely to resort to unethical/ criminal means of survival. Whereas a high end NT is more likely than the other neuro-types to finish college and find employment in their field of study, or to find their niche sooner, as they have both a strong skill set or knowledge base that isn't counter balanced by social awkwardness. A low end commoner is also prone to constant lying, who r also less skilled of a liar than a high end NT. On the contrary a high end NT has less of a need to be a liar as they usually aren't left in a position where lying is needed. Thing's tend 2 fall in place for high performing neurotypicals and most were preppy in school as well as beyond graduation.
Oh there's that dope dealer trying to sell meth to that guy with an autistic lisp and mannerisms. I'd like to call that criminal a low functioning neurotypical.

Functional Femininity

When someone chooses to change their gender to female not because of gender dysphoria, but for practical, functional reasons.

In certain situations becoming female might be desirable for pragmatic reasons. To obtain citizenship by marring a heterosexual male for example. Or simply to become a stay at home wife due to a difficult job market. In prison sometimes it is necessary for a male to become female simply for survival.

Someone practicing functional femininity may be open about the fact they are adopting a female gender purely for pragmatic reasons, or they maybe choose to conceal it. It's not unheard of a male to agree to function as a female for a heterosexual male in return for a VISA via marriage. Their husband being fully aware they are practicing functional femininity and that they do not truly consider themselves female.

Often there is a formal agreement of specific terms. Such as permanent chastity, various (sometimes extreme)surgical enhancements and even castration and/or penectomy. This acts as assurance that the male will continue to function as a female permenantly in the long term. These terms are common when a husband is concious of the fact their wife is a male practicing functional femininity.

This kind of arraignment is common with east asians attempting to move to western countries.
"Well, I can either stay here as an umployed man and live in absolute poverty. Or move to the west and practice functional femininity. Become a wife and at least be comfortable. "
