It seems to me that while we have deconstructed certain normative ideas (e.g. that everyone should be heterosexual), there is no general interested in pursuing a truly liberal agenda where people define for themselves who they are and how they want to live, rather than live by arbitrary rules.
What is happening is that the old rules are now being replaced by new rules. And people who break these rules are no longer called degenerates, they are called autists.
