Of course please remember that there is no wrong answer to this as it is your personal opinion and your's is your opinion and not everyone else's.

It is the antonym of abnormal. If it fits in unnoticed, it is probably normal. Normal people and things generally do not draw attention or disrupt things.

Statistically typical, with no inherent positive or negative connotation. (Ie: There are tons of bad things that are extremely normal.) Same with abnormal/rare/deviant/etc., in that they are simply statements of variation from the norm or a smaller chance of occurrence without any inherent positive or negative connotation.

As has already been pointed out, "normal" is value-neutral; it's merely a matter of statistics.

Many people use the word "normal" when they mean "normative." That's something entirely different.

I'm normal and everyone else is weird!  ;)

Actually, it depends on the context.  What's normal in one group might not be in another.
I'm a 65 year old male who has been thinking about SRS for many years.  I also was a  full cross dresser for a few years.  I wear a bra, pantyhose and nail polish daily because it just feels right.

Anyone who doesn't agree with me 100% is a weirdo. Lol joking. I think it just depends on the views of each person. I find some people kind of weird but they consider themselves normal. And though I'm totally not, I know some people think I'm totally weird. My brother for one, He's told me that enough. But of course he's the weirdo, not me. Lol

Perpendicular to the surface

This makes me laugh.

Seriously though.  Normal for me is no roar from the trans beast.  Being able to live and function without some knawing need to be something else.  I will never be normal from a societal definition.  I am an artist and I will always stick out as a weirdo.  That's okay with me.

you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different

I became normal August 2017 after 65 years of confusion. Normal for me is finally attaining an understanding of who I am and why I am and exploring the beauty of finding myself. Actually it was at Gender Odyssey when 1700 others just like me showed up. I used to think I was all alone.

I used to go there a lot for work.  Then that customer shut down the site I had to visit and shipped that problematic system to somebody else's region.

NORMal is someone who acts according to the norm, the stereotype of perfect citizen that a society has. In my society for example, a normal person is someone that has finished secondary school, is going/has been to university and has at least an important title and has a stable job. To be normal you have to listen to certain genres of music and dress with a certain fashion. You're probably made fun of if you dress differently. It shocks me how every young person that goes to a club dresses exactly the same as the others, they look like clones.

But they are normal, that's everything that matters And they are considered to have "succesfull lives" because they have a nice job, have nice clothes and a family. It doesn't really matter if that makes you happy, you have a successful life and you should be happy because of it.

Currently listening to the Simon & Garfunkle song "A Most Peculiar Man".  I guess he wasn't normal.   ;)
