That’s totally fair, but also I think a lot of people need to accept that they don’t need to get something to respect it or believe people expressing it. Look at the comments in this thread, there’s polyamorous people explaining our feelings and reasoning next to people asserting that they think it’s just a fetish.
I completely agree, but it’s a big ask of some people for them to respect something they don’t even think is real. If they get some sort of basis for understanding, it’s at least possible then.
I feel like compersion is one of those things people can’t really “get” until they experience it themselves
