Are people who have fetishes involving clown suits and midgets “abnormal or normal”
What about my second sentence? Ready to call every group outside the majority as "abnormal"? Just curious
That’s all it is. A made up term by alphabets to call normal people.
We learned about cis and trans isomers in Organic Chemistry. But yeah when talking about genders I think “normal” is adequate for the opposite of trans.The term actually goes back to early 1900s German sexologist papers. The prefix cis- is a Latin prefix for "on this side", the opposite of trans-.

But yea a dude wanting to mount another dude is far from normal.
I had this whole big retort to this all written out and hit the delete key. I guess I will leave it at this: If someone asks if I am a cisgender, I will drop trou and ask them to make their own determination.The term actually goes back to early 1900s German sexologist papers.

How'd that work out for them?Actually, this is only a historically recent issue. As far back as early Mesopotamian cultures, male on male intercourse was a way of leadership establishing dominance through emasculation of a weaker individual. This was actually depicted and discussed in the Old Testament.
The crowd in Sodom, upon learning of the Angels visiting with Lot, wanted to "know" them not for sexual pleasure but for the sake of establishing dominance over heavenly beings - the ultimate power move against the God of Abraham.

There has to be some sense of normalcy. But yea a dude wanting to mount another dude is far from normal. A chic that wants to pretend they’re a dude is far from normal. Expecting everyone to think it’s normal is asinine.

I don't know how you made the existence of the word "cisgender" into some victimhood thing where people are trying to force you into what to expect, but again in contexts other than gender and sexuality (for example, race) you can see why picking one thing and declaring it as "normal", implying that everyone outside of that box is somehow weird, is unhelpful and unnecessary. Othering has never been a positive term.
Homosexuality has also happened forever and happens across several species, so grossing you out doesn't make something "abnormal"
