Using that logic, then people who are outside the stereotypes of mean aggressive jerk are not "normal."

When society creates what is acceptable and what is not, havoc ensues. How? Well, there was this man named Hitler and to him, Jews weren't "normal" and he created a society that killed people who weren't "normal" by Nazi standards.

The same thing is true today. What about a transsexual? Is he or she outside societal norms and deserves punishment just because he or she does not meet the standard boy or girl stereotypes?

The whole idea of defining what should be male and what should be female is antiquated and dangerous.
This is not about what is acceptable and what not; yes, a transsexual is outside the norms of "our society" right now in a mathematical sense. If you like math, you can do a search and read the concepts of "standard deviation" and the "normal distribution" of data to understand this matter better.

I never say that those who are outside the norm should be killed, separated, or should be deprived of their rights to live their life the way they please. But they are special and not normal. The norm of the society is that genes of a male dictate him to be rougher, while a female is more sensitive due to the nature of her genes.
