Back when I was in high school, I remember people calling introverts and goths "freaks" (i.e. people who are outside the "norm".)
classic normie behavior
I tell my friends that Asperger's is a super power and that the word, "normies" is an insult.
I've aways assumed "normie" was an insult. But I might be over sensitive to such things, becaise "cis" also sounds like an insult to me.
A lesbian friend was the first person to call me cis. I had no idea what it meant. Now that I understand I have embraced the term to make clear how I see myself. I am a cis male.
i.e. "boring" ๐ช
Exactly.
