Normalizing the Abnormal

Whenever I use the word normal, I feel compelled to add, in jest, the caveat “Whatever normal is.” Seriously though, as much as I detest the overuse of labels, there really is a normal, and I frequently wonder if our biggest problem in society today is our failure to acknowledge that fact.

As much as I hate (not really) to once again blame Liberals, they really are responsible for this one. I may not agree with their message, but I have to give them credit for their dedication and persistence. In face of facts, they are bound and determined to normalize the abnormal in our society.

Let me back up a bit and provide a basic definition as a starting point. According to https://www.dictionary.com/, normal is an adjective meaning “conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.” Pretty obvious, right? Unless you believe the lunatics on the Left. Here’s their definition from https://www.urbandictionary.com/: “a word made up by this corrupt society so they could single out and attack those who are different.” Of course, even they have to follow up with a second definition that actually makes sense, “a statistic based upon a majority.” Or in other words, the common, or usual, or regular standard.

Let’s use a word from their own definition - majority. If something is the norm or the standard, then it must be what the majority of people would consider to be the usual or regular thing. Take for example, the LGBT movement. If less than ten percent of the population is homosexual, then ninety percent, a clear majority, are heterosexual. The transgender population is estimated to be less than a third of a percentage point. (https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/visualization/lgbt-stats/?topic=LGBT#density) Statistically, these people are clearly not the norm, the common or usual standard. And there’s nothing wrong with that. They are a small minority and they are not the norm. So what?

But the Liberals, with their biggest ally, the media, want us to believe that these people are common everyday “normal” folks. Sorry, statistically, they are not. I wrote something a while back (misunderstood by many readers) entitled “Crapping Rainbows.” The point of that particular blog was to show how the media is pushing an agenda to normalize these fringe groups. If you believe the media today, you would think that the LGBT folks make up half the population. They don’t. They are not the common or usual standard. And again, that’s okay.

Why don’t we just accept the obvious? Some people are different. They are rare and unique. You might say individual. And aren’t we all? Maybe it’s time we started accepting people for their individual selves and stopped trying to make them out to be just like everyone else. Let’s stop trying to make everything and everyone “normal” and just learn to appreciate the differences that go with being a part of the human race.
