I feel like I should address being plural here somewhere. so… I guess I will!

basically, I’m pretty sure we’re some flavour of plural. a bit like our transness, the feeling of “being plural” is something which has been present for years, and it hasn’t gone away, no matter how hard we’ve tried to ignore it.

maybe it’s disordered, maybe it’s not. maybe it’s something I made up in my head. but at a certain point, acknowledging it as part of my identity feels much better than pretending it isn’t there at all.

that said, I feel like it’s pretty covert? as in, I don’t think anyone really notices it.

most the time, we couldn’t really tell you who’s at the surface. heightened emotional states can help make it more obvious to us. but day-to-day we’re normally pretty vague. I couldn’t even tell you how many of us there are… at least 3? possibly more?

what I’m trying to say is that. I don’t really expect anyone outside to be able to tell us apart or to try to keep track of who’s who or anything. you don’t need to address us differently or anything, “alex” or “snail-legs” and he/fae pronouns are still fine! which is part of why I haven’t said anything about it to anyone.

the other part of why we’re not super open about it is um. ■■ is pretty private about it all? which is why I’m trying very hard not to go into too much detail.

like I said. I mostly just wanted to make space to acknowledge it. maybe one day we’ll talk about this stuff more! but for now, if you see us writing using plural first-person pronouns (we/us/our/ours), you know why :)
