Including far too many mental health professionals. The mental health industry is so politicized that their definitions of "normal" and "disorder" cannot be trusted.
Mental health professionals have always been in the business of making people normal in the sense that therapy is meant to help us adjust to societal norms, rather than the other way around. For a brief time in the 1960s and 70s, there was a movement in psychiatry against this type of thinking, but it fell by the wayside and became assimilated into the AHP, who are no longer taken seriously thanks to their toasterish extremes.
