I think this is a difficult topic to tackle in workplace DEI efforts because most people who are non-monogamous are viewed as unethical and promiscuous. Even if it’s explained as ethical, all parties knowing and consenting and good ongoing communication etc., “the weird factor” makes it taboo. This is particularly true for queer non-monogamous people, especially bi people as it seems to confirm certain stereotypes. I wonder what you think about how we can address this?
I was trying to answer your question by explaining my approach, not sure if that came across. I don't feel I could do it justice here, hence the offer of booking time. If I can engage with something easily and simply here then I try to do so if I can access the space and energy to do so.
I'm interested in helping people to look at whether they are colluding in their own oppression. Finding something weird is the programmed response to anything that doesn't align with colonial norms, so my approach is education focused on helping people decolonise their thinking, supporting the inner-work of unlearning and reclaiming agency. If you'd like to 'pick my brain' on anything I write about in more detail you can book me through my website. https://wautisticwayfinder.com/contact-us
Thank you for explaining your mission. I appreciate your writing and goals. I want you to know that I wasn’t trying to ask for free labor here. Some authors like to engage in conversation on Substack. It’s totally understandable and valid to not want to do that. I really appreciate and value your time.

Thank you. You definitely answered my question. I also know that “picking your brain” type questions can feel like (and be) impositions. Thanks again!
