The way I see it, assigning virtue to something mainstream society oppresses (like neurodiversity, autism, but also queerness) it like cool and fun and all and I do it all the time. It's a way to fight stigma. But like you say, and I agree, it can be a trap. Just because someone is different/marginalised doesn't mean they're (me included) automatically better than whatever the oppressive norms are.
Which would also be a huge burden and no one wants that
It's like... it depends on context. There's a lot of nuance here. Celebrating diversity per se is cool and good and important imo, but that also includes celebrating those people who are "normal" and being cool about it. I love my token straight friend! (I don't know if I have any neurotypical friends lol)
I guess what I'm trying to say is, we want rights, dignity, freedom and cookies for everyone, not to reverse the polarity on what is deemed "good" or "bad". (And yes, I know that prejudice in the absence of power is no where near as dangerous as actual discrimination, but it's still unpleasant and can lead to smallmindedness).
