Get help! It isn't normal! Stay away from kids! Thanks for the suggestions, but...

 


Things you're overlooking when you yell "get help"...

~ You don't know what help is available
~ You don't know what it consists of
~ You don't know what it can and can't achieve
~ You don't know who is in need of it and to what extent
~ You don't know who you're talking to


Things you're overlooking when you yell, "it isn't normal!"...

~ Normal isn't a synonym for "morally OK"
~ If someone isn't normal, pointing that out adds nothing to solving anyone's problems.
~ Everyone has a normality, and those can include things that aren't normal for others


Things you're overlooking when you yell, "stay away from kids!"

~ There are kids everywhere
~ Many MAPs are themselves still kids and at school
~ Many people have kid relatives
~ The important thing is that you behave responsibly if you're going to encounter them

The term "normalization" has come to mean "shut up" when used against us on social media.
