What is the Norm? What qulifies one as not Normal?

On Wednesday we talked a great deal about what is Normal and What is not? Or what is the Identifiable feature that identifies one as being Normal or a man or woman? Is it possible to be normal in a world that is full of abnormalities. if you believe that just because there are things that cause abnormality's in this world, that now the world is some how not normal.   should we now scrutinize the world being suspicious of every one that comes our way? Do you think that no one is what they my appear to be?  there are Normal people that were born with the right genitalia for the sex that they are. There are abnormal people that was born or after birth developed some sort of abnormality that prevents them form being are acting the way Norma people act. Now what determines what is normal about a persons behavior?  It could be how you live, where you live, who you live among, and what you do for a living,  Some people live double lives. Are they Normal? Are you Normal?
