CW: coming out as plural; boundaries (both for mutuals and non-mutuals), AMA, boosts are okay
So..., I've had this mostly locked up to where only mutuals could see this..., but I decided to come out and publicly say that I am plural. :neobot_flag_plural:
TL;DR: there are a total of five members. I am the original of my system (and the main fronter and main host). The other four do front on here as well (we all share this account), but I am the only one who posts publicly (it will probably stay that way for a long time).
A few boundaries/terms:
1. We do not refer to ourselves as "parts" or "alters" - acceptable terms for us as individuals include "headmates", "sysmates", and "system members".
2. The other four members may not feel comfortable fronting publicly or in conversations with people who are not our mutuals at this time. Part of that is for their safety and our safety IRL (this is why we stayed mostly closeted on Fedi for so long; CW: heavy topics).
3. Each member (including myself) has a signature they use when interacting more privately. Each member also has their own pronouns and gender identities (among other aspects of themselves) - please respect those as well.
4. We are willing to answer questions about our plurality, but there are some lines we cannot cross
If my system thinks ofmore, I'll put them here.
Feel free to ask us questions, but again.., there are some questions we cannot answer or do not feel comfortable about answering.
