There's a couple of people in my f-list that I think will find interest in that and they'll agree with it, but I'm not really sure that I do. I guess it depends on how you interpret the meaning of the last line and the conditions placed on the definitions.

Though FWIW, if I start placing conditions on the definitions, then the message is probably correct in a purely semantic sense and I can understand that interpretation, but I do think it's a technicality and that at the root, they are not 'right' but using terms that are too vague and casting a loose net to make their point.

One could make the counter argument that I am biased. I could not disagree with that assessment, but I would also point out that being biased doesn't make one inherently wrong. It just means to take their interpretations with a grain of salt.

From my perspective, 'normal' is like 'quality'. You know it when you see it.

Most cisgendered people assume I'm cisgendered. That doesn't mean it's true.

But I would argue that being cisgendered is not sufficient to qualify is 'normal'.

The point of the comic is that, while one may not qualify for one instance of being 'weird' (Ie, I don't eat paper or eat PBBB sandwiches), another instance will apply. Therefore, we are all weird.
