5!!''What's Normal Anyway?'' contains examples of:
6
7* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mel is definitely not normal, but aside from being trans, he's also just kind of strange and in his own head a lot.
8* {{Crossdresser}}: Not normally, but one comic has Mel dressing up in lipstick and an old dress of his because he wanted to get "get his money's worth" out of the dress.
9* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Beef. His given name is never revealed.
10* HeteronormativeCrusader: Mel and his friend Diego (who is also trans) get thrown out of a store by a homophobic owner who thinks they're a couple.
11* InopportuneVoiceCracking: Mel's voice starts randomly cracking once he goes on hormones.
12* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Mel is effeminate, partially due to his upbringing as female. Quite a sum of the comic deals with his issues concerning manhood and his lack of masculinity.
13* GagHaircut: In the prequel comic Mel gives himself a haircut in high school. It doesn't go well.
14* {{Keet}}: Mel is very loud, energetic, and immature.
15* KindheartedCatLover: Mel is a sweet guy with a cat named Dr. Skateboard.
16* LovableJock: Beef. He is very much a stereotypical straight bro in mannerisms and interests, but he is a nice guy and is supportive of Mel.
17* ManChild: Mel tends to be one, which Leena occasionally points out.
18* SliceOfLife: The comic tells the life of a trans man as he goes through his transition.
19* SobriquetSexSwitch: Melissa -> Mel.
20* TokenBlackFriend: Leena. While she has a brief storyline of her own when she meets a girl and goes off to France, she mainly exists to be Mel's best friend and voice of reason.
