I agree with you that this particular blogger seems to be using sort of a broad brush and not going into enough context. I think there is some context that I'm missing, embedded in this subculture, that I'm just sort of getting into and cannot address in full. My guess is that the kink community feels oppressed by the wider culture in some way; there is probably evidence to support this but again I'm not the authority. And I think the blogger is responding to that pressure, that pressure to normalize their sexuality, which is similar to the pressure to normalize one's body in other ways. I find that parallel interesting.
Certainly it could have been worded better in the blog. In fact I think *I* just worded it better. ;)
Of course it's fine to not be into something, and not have that be an ableist perspective, as long as you're not telling other people that it's somehow morally reprehensible to be into that thing and therefore they should stop doing it, it is wrong OMG. (Which, um, makes me reconsider my stance on Toby Keith, since on some level I do find him morally reprehensible, hah).
I have more to say on the politics that I'm learning about kink through kink_bingo, but I'll spare you those at present.
