These people--all of the intersectional left, probably--conflate statistical norms

Personal anecdote, the staff at a lgbt center came after me for this once. I said gays aren't normal and it caused all kinds of consternation. It was really weird like they were trying to bully me into seeing myself as normal and asking why I thought so negatively of myself. Like they were basically accusing me of wrongthink but trying to spin as positive motivation.

Some engineering major happened to be there and came to help convince the staff that i didn't actually hate myself and the other gays at the center.

These people get so hung up on emotional attachments to words, it's so weird.
