All of this cannot be overstated
Like a good example is my experience with otherkin/therians
I never got it and honestly was so confused as it simply made no sense to me
But eventually I learned to be more chill about stuff and made friends with people who happened to be either or both
I still don't really get it, but it really doesn't matter and after taking that approach I funnily enough started to relate to that experience in a few minor ways and understand it a little bit
Once again I don't think I'll ever fully get it, but I can vibe with them, and by connecting over parts that I DO understand it doesn't even feel like "playing along" anymore, nah they're just wired different, just like I am wired different from most people in other ways
So much this. I don't think it's said enough how many of us started weird with it and just became better people (it's a thing people can do) and honestly the last 10 years or so of my life have been centered around the idea that "hey, life is stressful and terrifying. What makes people happy is their business. It does not affect me"
And if a feeling did effect me I would sit with it and ask why. The answer was always me projecting myself onto that person, who I am not. So it's all very silly to concern myself with.
Every human mind is different.
I can't "explain" what it's like to be trans to a cis person, there are internal things to being a certain way that can't be fully comprehended by another party. However, EVERYONE can be accepting of it, admit they themselves are both NOT perfect and NOT the ideal norm (because that's not a real thing) and we can all just respect each other's space and choices.
If someone doesn't get it then I don't really know what to do with that.
At some point, I came to the realization that I won't understand every detail of a person's identity. I won't understand every mystery. And that's totally okay. My job in the exchange isn't necessarily to understand the whys and hows of it all. My job is to RESPECT them. And that's a surprisingly easy thing to do, it turns out.
I'm struggling a little with the "[x] isn't unhealthy" example. I'm not sure if I should just open-mindedly accept every claim that something isn't unhealthy, and I'm not sure I'd be happy to just shrug and go "I can't figure this out, guess it's just a mystery" when it comes to what is and isn't healthy.
