This is not a hate crime

Are you accusing me of normal-normativity? hehe ;-P

Never!

Here's a gif of Mr. Turdeau dancing a traditional Canadian Christmas dance for you. Merry Christmas!

And Merry Christmas to you too, btw!

Sorry, I haven't been used to saying it for a long time, nobody to say it to.

Thx.

You certainly aren't. And I'm definitely not.

I'm normal in that I have two arms, two legs, a head, and "identify" as the gender that matches my genitalia.

I'm also normal in that I don't throw dollar bills at 9 year old boys stripping on stage in a strip club, or hoot and holler at them twerking while nearly naked in the middle of the street in a "pride" parade.

Are you saying you're NOT normal in those ways?

no normal person celebrates how normal they are

"I'm also normal in that I don't throw dollar bills at 9 year old boys stripping on stage in a strip club, or hoot and holler at them twerking while nearly naked in the middle of the street in a "pride" parade."

well, i'll admit that those things are disgusting. those weren't things that gay people (or "not normal" people in your view) did years ago

You consider merely saying "it's okay" to be "celebrating"?

i suppose, i mean... it's not much of an achievement to be normal...

Again you're trying to insert more meaning than is actually there. Calling it "okay" is not calling it "an achievement"

And really, it's not much of an achievement to be born blind, deaf, gay, black, or female (for example) either, now is it? There's nothing any more special about any of them than there is about white people, males, normal (ie able-bodied) people, and conservatives.

Achievements come from what you do with your life. You don't get a special achievement just for being born to circumstances you had no say over, no matter if you're normal or abnormal.

"Again you're trying to insert more meaning than is actually there. Calling it "okay" is not calling it "an achievement""

thing is, you're celebrating being normal, which isn't really normal.

"And really, it's not much of an achievement to be born blind, deaf, gay, black, or female (for example) either, now is it? There's nothing any more special about any of them than there is about white people, males, normal (ie able-bodied) people, and conservatives."

never said it was an achievement to be any of those, hence why i don't go to pride parades (unless they're in a city far away, in which case i use that as an excuse to go ride a train to a place).

"Achievements come from what you do with your life. You don't get a special achievement just for being born to circumstances you had no say over, no matter if you're normal or abnormal."

i will say, in defense of pride parades, the celebration comes from having endured years of oppression. of course, lgbt people today (in the united states) don't experience what was going on decades ago, and the pride parades are excessive, which is why it irks a lot of people (and gives a dangerous platform to those who oppose gay marriage).

You really have strange ways of using words, don't you?

Calling something "okay" is NOT celebrating it, it's just making a statement of fact, like it's okay to like pineapple on pizza, or it's okay to to like dogs (when said to a cat person). To call something okay is in fact a pretty piss poor "celebration". Okay is the /median/, meaning it's not good, and it's not bad, just "okay", and most certainly not "wrong".

You've only got the one argument, don't you? No matter how much it's proved wrong.

Also, merry christmas

If you say so...

And belated Merry Christmas to you to. I just got home after spending Xmas day partying with my bud

And subjective.

Personal normality is indeed subjective, ie to a person born blind, being blind is normal.

But on the much larger species based scale, normal is neither relative or subjective. It is objectively normal for human to have two arms, two legs, one head, two eyes, two ears, one nose, etc. etc., as well as for boys to have a p**is, and for girls to have a va**na.

All of that is objective normality. Anything else is, by definition, AB-normal.
