I believe that the dominant society establishes an idea of what “normal” is simply to suppress differences, which means that any of us who fall outside of their “normal” will eventually be oppressed.
I think this may be an oversimification. The adult human brain is naturally wired to want to place things in neat boxes to simplify understanding. Johnson is even doing that here. Yet although I disagree with his analysis of intention, I agree that the result is oppression.
