Appearing Normal

Should we strive to appear normal?  Or is it better to educate the world to accept our personhood as different and okay.  I saw this video by A.M. Baggs.  In My Language she states:   The existence and value of many different kinds of thinking and interaction in a world where how close you can appear to a specific one of them determines whether you are seen as a real person or an adult or an intelligent person, and in a world in which those determine whether you have rights, their are people being tortured, people dying because they are considered non persons, because their kind of thought is so unusual as to not be considered thought at all.  Only when the many shapes of personhood are recognise will justice and human rights be possible.   So what do you think is it possible to educate people to accept the different shapes she is talking about?
