Welcome to our RU-vid channel, solely dedicated to words.
Say Your Word is a digital platform by the acclaimed novelist, storyteller and women’s rights activist Elif Shafak.
A platform for words and anyone who cares about them.
Language is the key to understanding and unlocking our world.
It is also the key to the human heart.
Words are often said to have power.
What is not said that often is that they can hurt and even spread hatred and hostility, just like they can heal and bring about love, empathy and wisdom.
They can divide, distance and "dehumanise", just like they can connect and “rehumanise" those who have been dehumanised.
East and West, North and South, regardless of race, sex, gender, colour, religion, ethnicity, nationality or any other category, we are all made of stories.
Stories bring us together, untold stories keep us apart.
Today's word is NORMAL.
Subscribe to Elif Shafak's new RU-vid channel to discover the beauty, complexity and magic of words.

I have just finished reading the Architect's Apprentice and right now I am reading The Flea Palace! Your novels stick in my head. Every now and then I keep remembering the scenes you've created in your novels!

I remember and like how did Elif touch the concept of Normal in the novel "10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World"

Being a human we have different views. It is Normal so don't think if some one say "you are not normal" ...you are different from other it doesn't means you are not normal.

My family and I don't like the word "normal." We passionately believe that it is just a subjective label that underm ines people. In my family, we don't judge. My mom was pregnt with my older sister at 18. Then she had me with an old boyfriend at 23. Then she got back together with my sister's dad (they're not married though) and they had another baby; he's 11 and has ASD. I have that and OCD. Our sister had a baby too, the same age as our mom the first time. My family and I (and yes, I include my siblings' dad as family) even go to thera py. Do you know how often we've been judgd? SO MANY times. And that is why we do not judge others or believe in the word "normal." Everybody is weird, everybody is different; there is no "normal and abnormal."

Plurality against the order of nature needs to be respected/tolerated but not encouraged in my opinion. This can be done through appropriate treatment options etc.

".. Against the order of nature.." What is the order of nature?

A social worker once told me that in the new normality, it was very normal to be out of the norm. So if you are being tolled you are abnormal, Tell yourself it is very normal. 🪔
