One of the most dangerous words in the English language is "normalize," as in "normalize transgenderism."
It shouldn't be. People in the normal world use it to mean pretty basic things, like making graphs with different scales conform to a common one.
But in contemporary parlance, what it means is something quite different: to change the Overton Window of acceptable behavior or beliefs to include things that ordinary people consider, usually correctly, to be well outside the bounds of "normal" behavior.

Engelsman is an activist for men who want their nipples sucked by babies for sexual gratification.
Engelsman is a specialist in inducing “lactation”(chemical pus) in men with a breastfeeding fetish. His work includes ‘Inducing Lactation for Kinksters’, ‘Lactation for the Rest of Us: A Guide for Queer and Trans Parents and Helpers’ & contributions to adult kink & BDSM events.
The Galway breast-feeding conference will be hosted by the HSE-funded Association of Lactation Consultants in Ireland.
Do you agree with babies being used for sexual gratification? Do you agree that in funding this event, the state is condoning the sexual abuse of babies by fetishist men? Do you support this?
Let them know.
Inviting a man to a conference on breastfeeding infants to discuss his sexual fetish for having infants suck on his nipples would fit quite nicely into the category of "normalizing" behavior that ought to get one run through a wood chipper.
Or, to use another example, the U.K.'s National Health Service instructing its practitioners to encourage first-cousin marriage for its Muslim clients because it is something they practice, even though it is more likely to cause birth defects than non-consanguineous marriages.
You hear the term "normalize" most often among Queer activists, whose main project is to "normalize" behavior that is well outside the bounds of social acceptability, but the word is now common enough among Left-wing activists of all types. That's because "Queer ideology" has less to do with sex than it does with breaking down social norms in general.
First they normalize abortion.

Now they normalize murdering children aged 8 months, 3 years, and 5 years.

Lots of things are getting "normalized," from late-term abortions to murdering people on the streets because you dislike what they do or hate what they say. "Normalization" of what was once unacceptable behavior has become as Left-wing as screaming "tax the rich," and actually much more important to their ultimate ideological goals.
Post-partum depression is a real thing, but it does no one any good to normalize it, let alone make it performative. https://t.co/lb9vY1lg6E

TikTok "normalizes" all sorts of grotesque behaviors, which explains why so many kids and women have seemingly gone off the rails. We have normalized so much deranged behavior that people lose the ability to use common sense.

Common sense is, by definition, tied to the normal, which is what makes it common. If you disconnect people from having a sense of the normal range of human thought and behavior, you unhinge them from everything that makes daily life navigable.
Shame on everybody on the left that helped normalize this POS https://t.co/Ha8eTpakwt

The goal of "normalization" is to make the "Queer" normal — to make "normal" a verb, not an adjective. And as a verb, it is very dangerous in almost every circumstance.
One of the key goals of the Biden administration was to "normalize" Queer behavior. Whether it was making Richard Levine a high-ranking health official or putting a Satanist in charge of the response to the Monkeypox epidemic.
Meet Demetre Daskalakis.

Demetre was just appointed by Joe Biden to be the official White House National Monkeypox Response Deputy Coordinator. Demetre proudly wears the official symbol of the Church of Satan: The Pentagram.

When Biden flew the transgender Pride flag at the Vatican, that was to "normalize" chopping kids' genitals off. When he sat down with Dylan Mulvaney and was interviewed, that was to "normalize" cross-dressing. 
We have to learn to say "No!" when anybody demands that we "normalize" abnormal behavior. When everything is normal, nothing is.
