I just can't agree with this, because I don't think acting as if a particular norm doesn't exist, and as if that norm doesn't set expectations, actually helps anyone. There are always going to be more cis than trans people, just as there are always going to be more straight than gay people; so media is always going to feature more of the former than the latter; and it makes more sense in the long run to accept that reality than to keep insisting on treating it all as exactly equal. I'm also against the idea of needing to always "see yourself" in fiction, despite thinking that diverse depictions are necessary.

What's more is that we really ought to stop treating "normal" as a synonym for "good." The better bet is to argue that things outside the norm can be (and often are) good, and that we need a different way of determining what counts as "bad" (such as by looking at deeds and their impact/consequences).
