Is it normal to be obsessed with postman pat?

I posted this before, but for some reason it wasn't shown on the site.
I am a transgender man aged 42 and I am OBSESSED with Postman Pat.
I was born a girl and I had gender reassignment surgery so I could be like my hero, Pat.
I have a red Ford Escort van which used to have the Royal Mail livery but the BASTARD PIGS said I wasn't allowed it anymore.
I even have a black and white cat called Jess, who rides in the passenger seat with me.
I had a replica postman's uniform tailored exactly the same as Pat's and I wear it every day.
I even moved to Cumbria in Northern England, which Pat's hometown Greendale was based on.
The local children love it when I drive past and they all wave and cheer, but some of the older kids shout hurtful transphobic comments and throw stones at my van.
I don't know how anyone knows I'm transgender, as I haven't told anyone since I moved here.
Apart from that, I have a great time driving around the Cumbrian countryside in my red van with Jess and I don't care what anyone says.
Is it normal to live like this, and more importantly, does it matter?

    I think the admiration of postman pat goes beyond what is normal (so not normal), but I also don't think it's harmful. If you enjoy it and it's not harming you or anyone else, why not?

      He's the coolest postman in the world! He always helps people and he's really clever and he drives a red van! He has a black and white cat called Jess and he lives in Greendale! You should watch him on YouTube!

    I used to drive a red Renault 4 van in the '90s and random kids would occasionally shout 'Postman Pat!'.

    I've been thinking of printing lots of pictures of Jess and I and delivering them to everyone in the village so I can be just like Pat. Do you guys think that would be a good idea?
