"Appeasers believe that if you keep on throwing steaks to a tiger, the tiger will become a vegetarian." -- Heywood Broun

[I think this applies to assimilationist LTBGQ people as well -- "If we just Look Normal enough ..." is not a winning long-term strategy.]

Right the fuck on.

I don't want people to accept a weird fake "normal" looking version of myself. I want people to accept _me_, as dramatic and extra and weird and glittery and glorious as I am! And all my siblings in the same way.

More broadly, there is the approach of expanding the range of "normal" to be far more inclusive.
