Hypermasculinity in autism

I'm hyper masculine and autistic. I'm ONLY into things that are usually associated with males, MMA, death metal, etc. Also I have an EXTREMELY low digit ratio. Those of you who have never heard of such a thing.

Digit ratio - Wikipedia
 
I am hyper femmine and.... a female lol and into soft rave music. Used to be into black sabbath and now my fav is Taylor Swift.

Also love listening to my faith's music.
 
My ring finger and index finger are even. I even measured from bone end to tip. I have trouble understanding how things are either masculine or feminine. I have very little sense of that. It all seems so superficial and trivial. My sister wears make up a bit and likes some sorta goth metal stuff, I wear no make up and like polka. No idea what all that says or if somehow my fingers are involved. I did find out I have Morton's toe, a new point of pride for me. Does that have any connection to any of this?
 
I'm a girl, and consider myself to be pretty feminine. I've heard the theory that autism is related to masculinity before, but that's never been the case for me. I think it just depends on the person.

I used examples of MMA and Death Metal as examples because if you to an MMA event or a death metal show it is almost all men. (less so nowadays for ufc though)
