I think the term "normal" should be phrased as neurotypical
I think a word like that truly doesn't exist, its just a theory. I don't think anyone can define something normal beside our natural human abilities and even those can be a problem or different in some cases. Things change everyday. If people aren't in to diapers, they have something else not common amongst their peers that could seem questionable by them.
We have them in our own community of people. We have some people here that have a sexual attraction to diapers. We have some that wear them without any kind of use nor have a little side, they just wear them because they like the way it feels. You have some that are littles but are also sexually attracted as well. You could have littles that don't like wearing diapers at all, they could be into a different age or role-playing or mindset.
People like to wear diapers because it's a control thing. It could be a part of many different things that removes control such as medical devices and/or restraints such as chastity and other elements. It could be only a part of something and not even be an important part of some people's thing and only be an accessory
While diapers are typically the one thing that is common amongst us, there's still a lot that separates us all here. Starting with the people that despise messing. You have those the despise the idea of others being a sexually active little. People don't understand why people perform exhibitionism. You have people that want to be incontinent, but have their add on be not tolerated.
What I'm really trying to say is that everyone wants to relate to others, but when it comes to a certain thing, its not acceptable in other people's mind. Everyone wants their own labels, but as soon as something they don't identify with pops up, they don't want to be labelled that way. Whether you guys see it or not, its very evident in our forums. If this wasn't the case their wouldn't be rules. Some of us agree to not have a conversation about it, doesn't mean that we don't identify with certain things shunned on here. It's evident even between the admins here. They are very different as well and tend to target more things than others.
We have people demanding other categories of threads just because they don't identify as being something, such as the IC forum being stuffed in to another category. You have others wanting an LGBQ forum thread and you others that want only L,G,B or Q threads and want them seperated. You have people that despise the Adult Baby label and go on and create another label just because the term is uncomfortable to them.
As you can see there's so many labels, stereotypes, and other deemed unrelated things within our own community to be able to call ourselves normal within a neighborhood of identities. To be able to NORMALIZE something is impossible in our own community let alone the people that hate us because of who we are when they have something else themselves that are intolerable to some of us here.
You will never find a normal person on the earth. You should just give up because the fight you want is only another fight away, until you're the last person on earth, only then will you be normal.
In the end, you wouldn't have a choice to be or not to be, you'd have to erase all of your memories and start over again. By luck, you'd be an AB/DL all over again ansking same question.
