Psychologists who don't see kink as Massively Weird are so rare, they camoflague because the rest of the field is so aggressively normal. It sometimes helps me to remember that for the majority of the population, a person with kinky tendencies is less likely to encounter a supportive community, and more likely to see it as a distressing abnormality; and it is these people who talk with mental health professionals at great length about their fetishes.

I mean, it still ain't right. But it's also a whole different world, and practically a different reality. (See also: archipelago of weird) These days, when I see "deviant" I read "what the insurance companies will allow us to bill them to treat".
