You're half right, but it's the concept of "normal" that even makes "abnormal" a thing. If you stop believing in "normal" we're all just people and no one is abnormal cause we're all just ourselves.

It's actually freeing in my opinion. "Normal" is mostly used as a cudgel to exclude those deemed "abnormal".

Nah, the cudgel is when you get actively, materially excluded from things and opportunities because people don't get you. I get the intention, but reframing it that way makes me feel erased, not better.
