Question is, why are they running this campaign? A general “we don’t like the idea of people not fitting in our little box” attitude seems like a very weak motivation for something with such a low visibility/ask. Is there sone state funding streams for ND services they want closed out of neoliberal austerity?

Or maybe this isn’t adopting the detransition playbook, it is the detransition playbook. There’s an established correlation between autism and transgender identity, so creating a narrative that there’s an epidemic of autism misdiagnosis, suggesting ND isn’t “real,” then piggybacks into, trans identity must not be real as it’s part of the same “misconception.”

Some people want non-normatives to get back in the institutions and out of sight where they belong. Some people don't want governments to pay for accommodations or in some countries, disability payments. Some people want to erode legislation protecting the disabled in the workplace (through stigmatising the perceived recipients) or to narrow the group that applies to (you're not really disabled!) Some people want it to be cool to bully disabled people and find that (compassionate) recognition of disability increases public sympathy.
