If you identify as polyamorous, kinky, queer/trans, or anti-capitalist, you likely know how normativity disciplines bodies, desires, and relationships. The costs of stepping outside dominant scripts can be high, especially when your ways of being or loving are labeled deviant or disordered. I believe “health” is not the same as “normal,” and that freedom is rarely granted—it must be created. Living at the edges of what’s socially sanctioned isn’t pathology; it’s often a deeply conscious and courageous choice.
