So I have blue eyes, AB+ blood, I'm bisexual, I have synaesthesia, an eating disorder and a lazy eye - in all those ways I'm not normal. And that's fine by me! In many other ways I am "normal", for my Western country, in that I'm white, able-bodied, brunette, cisgender, allosexual etc. When I visited the Philippines though, being white (and being tall) was not normal. Normal is a matter of context.

My fiance also has AB+ blood, identifies as non-binary (most of the time uses he/him pronouns), he has dissociative identity disorder and psychosis, and in all those ways he's not normal either. And I love him in part BECAUSE of all the ways he's unique.

I notice you like saying "abnormal" instead of "unique" because I guess it sounds nastier, and you seem determined to see me as a bad person but whatever.
