What is the official APA definition of the word "normal" such that it should garner such disdain by the boycott promoters? I don't think we can go very far examining this idea without first describing how the word "normal" is conceptualized by the boycotters, and demonstrating that the APA uses this definition in its official or occult operations.

I will accept your not answering the questons that I asked. Your producing definitions of the word "normal" on behalf of the APA does not address them.
