Normal is a weapon often used by society to keep people in line behavior-wise or to force them to be quiet about bad experiences like abuse. So in some sense normalization is a good way to defuse that weapon.

Well said!! I agree 1,000%.
When I think of "normal" people, in my mind a see a line of people on an escalator staring straight ahead. No emotion on their faces. Just riding the escalator like they are supposed to do.
