Almost every sexual possibility currently found kinky or wrong by some group, is or has previously been found reasonable, and often required in some circumstances, by some other group.

This is a lot of words to justify classifying the atypical as "sick", when the context is sensual. Not that there's anything new about that.

I bet this person could spout a sermon about "diversity" and how valuable it is without ever engaging its brain and realizing that they've preached the opposite here. The sermon may be less harsh than others, but its "let's just jail the deviants instead of killing them," difference of degree, not direction.

This is not at all what the article says. The argument is that the current classifications don't work, and that consensual sex should never be considered paraphilic.
