  Are you implying that something else would be abnormal?

    They probably mean it more in the sense of common, regular, standard or majority. If I say I’m a normal bloke happy with my gender, I’m not trying to shit on trans people, I’m just talking about myself.

  Fuck that, you’re implying any other orientation is abnormal.

    This reminds me of that Tumblr post about how the left is so focused on “never being wrong” and how the in-fighting about the most irrelevant shit holds us back

    Is there a secret, hidden insult in that comment that only you can see? Is it in the room with us right now?

      Alice: So, how do you identify?
      Bob: Normal.

      What’s the odds Bob’s a bigot? Someone asked how to describe their sexuality, “normal” is not a useful answer.

        It’s not a bigoted one either.

        “I like feminine people of all genders, what is that?”

        “Normal.”

        We don’t know OPs gender, but it doesn’t matter. All sexualities are normal.

        Sure, if that’s you’re response to that exact question then yeah. But lets be honest here. Sub 10% of the population is identifies as anywhere on the LGBTQ spectrum (more or less). It’s pretty safe to say that if 90% of anything is ___ that’s the normal thing. I don’t understand why so many people are afraid of being labeled abnormal. Abnormal =/= morally wrong or anything.

      I believe it implies that being attracted to masculine people is abnormal. This isn’t an insult, but is sexist.

        It…really doesn’t. OP’s gender isn’t mentioned, either.

    i get what you’re trying to say, but maybe the poster was trying to be inclusive. being attracted to feminine people regardless of genitalia is not what most bigots would consider normal. my answer to the question “is it normal to be attracted to x” is “yes”, provided that x is a human person old enough to consent. in my opinion, it is also normal to not be attracted to anything. i am using normal in the value-judgement sense, not in the statistical sense.
