It is Friday night, January 22, 2021. My wife is calmly sleeping in the recliner next to mine, and my dog, Odin, is whimpering because the one toy he absolutely wants to play with more than any other toy has rolled under the couch out of his reach, and he wants me to get it out for him. It would be the fifth time tonight if I were to get up and retrieve his toy for him.
My wife says that Odin is doing a good job training me.
It’s all a part of my new normal.
Normal.
One word that means something a little bit different for everybody. For some folks it means one set of standards based on experience and the way that one person feels. And that’s ok. That’s ok for that one person. It’s a subjective truth.
My normal, my subjective truth, is unique for me, just as yours is your normal. It would be wrong for me to require you to adopt my definition of normal… unless, of course, your definition of normal involves being a serial killer or rapist.
President Biden has announced a reversal of the transgender ban for the military. An old high school classmate is opposed to it. Granted, he’s also a Trump supporter, and liked Trump’s LGBTQ agenda. It might seem a bit snarky, but I think Trump would’ve preferred that community just stayed out of his sight. He had his idea about normal, and he wanted to impose that set of beliefs on everybody else.
My normal is no one else’s normal.
If somebody else’s normal makes me uncomfortable, is the problem with them, or is the problem my own?

Suck it up, Snowflake. The first sex change procedures took place in 1952, almost 70 years ago.
That’s quite some time. Preceded a lot of the modern civil rights laws that were enacted during a tumultuous time in the US and the rest of the world. Today, we accept all those civil rights changes (most of us do anyway… ironically, the same folks that have problems with equality for all, also have a problem with folks transitioning their gender… no coincidence, I think) without blinking an eye for the most part.
Let’s give those folks a chance to find their own normal. Let’s not force others to accept our definition of normal.
I’d rather be in a foxhole with a transgender soldier that felt good about his/her/their life than with a miserable human that was so tired of having to accept other’s “normal” that they were ready to flip a spoon and check out.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
