You can thank genetic "abnormalities" in part for evolution. Many genetic variations, even those that cause disease, have been later found to give evolutionary advantages. Sickle cell comes to mind.
There is no "normal state of being" and it's dehumanizing to talk that way about people who are simply different from you. Nature is bizarre if you open your eyes and humans as social animals spend a huge amount of effort to appear normal.
Of course I can say. Many people have five fingers and some have fewer and some have more. The second sentence of the Wikipedia article on fingers agrees with me. [1] What was so difficult about that that you thought it would be some kind of gotcha?
> Your view makes it impossible to distinguish anything from anything else. It's just intellectually a dead end if you take it seriously with any consistency.
I think I've already demonstrated that you're wrong, but feel free to provide concrete examples of where my view does what you claim.
