    Is there a secret, hidden insult in that comment that only you can see? Is it in the room with us right now?

      Alice: So, how do you identify?
      Bob: Normal.

      What’s the odds Bob’s a bigot? Someone asked how to describe their sexuality, “normal” is not a useful answer.

        Sure, if that’s you’re response to that exact question then yeah. But lets be honest here. Sub 10% of the population is identifies as anywhere on the LGBTQ spectrum (more or less). It’s pretty safe to say that if 90% of anything is ___ that’s the normal thing. I don’t understand why so many people are afraid of being labeled abnormal. Abnormal =/= morally wrong or anything.

        It’s not a bigoted one either.

        “I like feminine people of all genders, what is that?”

        “Normal.”

        We don’t know OPs gender, but it doesn’t matter. All sexualities are normal.

      I believe it implies that being attracted to masculine people is abnormal. This isn’t an insult, but is sexist.
