You don't want to be considered normal?

That's kind of a heavy question. *scratches head* Let's see if I can put it succinctly.

For me, being abnormal isn't something I want or don't want; it's a neutral fact. I am highly unlikely to see someone of my demographics in a work, unless I write/prompt/commission it myself, because there just aren't that many folks who are ill like me. Is that kind of lonely sometimes? Sure. But it's not necessarily BAD; I wouldn't WISH my health problems on others!

(Though thankfully, I know other creators, so I can support them with my meager moneydollars and get some representation from them in exchange! And I do have some other friends with similar issues to me, so it's not like I'm Forever Alone or anything!)

Me being ill/abnormal is a neutral thing, to me. It's not something to be proud of, not something to be ashamed of, just something to be aware of, because if I don't, my health suffers. My wants don't really come into it.

Does that make any sense?

I thought we were talking about gender identity rather than illness?

Well, you asked if I wanted to be normal, which for me goes a bit beyond my just being trans. (Especially since a lot of my trans stuff is bound up in other things.)

Still, trans alone, there just aren't that many of us around, statistically. If by normal, you mean, "common," well... that just isn't so. I still see trans stuff as being worthy of respect and kindness of course, but that's not the same as being normal.
