This is something I wish people would do when trying to grasp gender and sexuality, especially where it's outside a binary. Too many attack helicopter jokes and "bi people are untrustworthy", not enough trying to understand another person's experience.
I reverse this when dealing with religious people, for example. I don't understand where they're coming from, and I draw hard lines for those with beliefs that are harmful to me, but I understand them better than when I was an edgy atheist teen.
