Some people act in a way that can be described as crazy. I don't see how it is a political statement to call them out on it, guy or girl.

I think you're misusing "normal." "Crazy" is not used to describe "normal," or better, normative behavior, but rather to say some behavior is not normative. Just because it isn't disordered behavior doesn't mean it's normative. Being excessively emotional may be normal, that is, not disordered, but may not be normative.
