I, for example, am sickeningly normal and wholesome. That's my kink.
Normal and wholesome is about as kinky as you can get
But, just to clarify, I was speaking about individuals that were forcefully pushed to the fringes of society. And in the end, embraced that thing that "caused" society to push them there... "their freakness" or whatever you want to call it.
To observe their situation, I'd say it was wrong that they were pushed into (sometimes) rather desperate and bleak predicaments. But, at the same time, they found something more special, greater, more life-giving than society would have ever provided them with.
I'm not talking about people who "chose" nonconformity to tickle their kinks (though that is perhaps equally valid in the grand scheme). I'm talking about people who failed to meet the gender expectations of their family and/or encompassing society and were thereby ostracized... but found something truer than society could or would provide on the desperate fringes.
"Normalizing" this kind of person might be something they'd object to. And for good reason. So I don't endorse that. What I endorse is "not pushing people to the desperate fringes." But I DON'T support "normalizing" anything or anyone. "Normalizing" gender issues is a superficial project. Sure, good comes of it. But I wouldn't double down on "normalizing" shit to fix our current problem. "Normalization" can only go so far, then it's utterly useless.
