I hear a lot of you complain about people using the term "normal". The common problem seems to be that none of you understand the concept. So in the interest of education, here are several dictionary and encyclopedia definitions of the term "normal".
Merriam-Webster: usual or ordinary : not strange
Dictionary.com: conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal;regular; natural.
Oxofd Dictionary: Conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected:
it’s quite normal for puppies to bolt their foodnormal working hours
Not really normal to squeeze your guts into the smallest possible space... |
This person would definitely not be considered "normal" |
"smooshing" your feet in to the smallest shoes possible, probably not something done by any majority groups |
Now I would have added the encyclopedia Britannica version, except they have so many versions from mathematics to psychology to a town in Illinois. So in the interest of being concise I decided against it. Since the only normal we're looking at here is essentially in the concept of statistical modelling.
Normal being the average of the populous of an area. Now, while normality differs from place to place; I.E: Neck rings and neck stretching is quite normal in some African and Asian sub-cultures, it is (comparatively) abnormal or unusual in the rest of the world.
Not something you see very often in Walmart. But among her people she's probably the girl-next-door. |

Western "weirdness" |
There are many abnormal subcultures among humans. Some harmless, some physically dangerous. some that just make people stop and stare. A subculture who completely understands "standing out" would be the goths. This is a subculture who embraces the stand-alone concept and have no need for anyone else to validate their existence, the fact that it's the only subculture to have survived the 70s, 80s, 90s and to this day, says enough.

And Even More Western "weirdness" |
In fact no one is trying to wipe transgenders off the face of the planet just by virtue of the fact that they say transgenders are not part of the norm. All they're saying is that transgenders are NOT PART OF THE NORM. The point is, homosexuals, effeminate men, masculine woman and transgenders have been around for much longer than the SJW fad and will, most likely, be here long after whiny, agenda-driven, college/tumblr twats disappear. They are even considered a third gender in some parts of Asia.
To sum up; "cisgered" heterosexuality is still the norm among the human population, no matter how many times you call for an end to cisgender or heterosexuality. It's what naturally propagates the human race (no artificial insemination is not a natural way of procreation and using a someone's frozen sperm and a turkey baster isn't natural either*). But no one said people who veer from the norm can't also have their own piece of sunshine. And for the most part, in Western society, they do.
