To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks (www.pcgamer.com)

Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical. "normal room temperature; one's normal weight; normal diplomatic relations."

What is a standard by your definition? What is a pattern? A norm? How are they defined?

i like how you call a dictionary definition simply “my” definition… if you’d like to learn more about the english language, i suggest you use a freely available dictionary website

What is a standard by your definition?

Human beings don't come in 'standards.' 105 men are born for every 100 women, does that mean women aren't 'standard' or 'normal'? You're using an appeal to definition, still. That isn't how we talk about people. There are more common things, but there is no 'normal,' 'standard,' etc. We have imposed standards, through a patriarchal system, which I feel Ursula K. Le Guin can explain far better than I.

So when I was born, there actually were only men. People were men. They all had one pronoun, his pronoun; so that’s who I am. I am the generic he, as in, “If anybody needs an abortion he will have to go to another state,” or “A writer knows which side his bread is buttered on.” That’s me, the writer, him. I am a man.
