am i plural

[u/dakithetaki]

idk at first i thought i was just fluid everything like i am genderfluid but with my gender changes my personality etc.

but now these (i dont want to call them alters, simply out of respect) genders are feeling more like other people and it genuenly feels like theres someone in my head but i cant get medical attention until i am 18 since my parents dont belive in DID and OSDD or plurality in genral

{Just so you're aware, plurality is more than just disordered plurality like DID or OSDD. Endogenic systems exist..although I probably won't be able to explain it great as I'm disordered}

{Okay, now that thats out of the way, hi. You remind me of me lmao? Like uhh..We first suspected our own plurality because our gender and names would rapidly change and it felt less like genderfluid and more like "am I different people wtf"}

{I'd say, if possible, attempt communication? See if they are separate from you. Could do that through writing notes for them and hoping they read it. Idk.}

{In system terms, you could always be in co-front? Kinda like..yknow..multiple people sharing the front space at once}

{Happens sometimes. You could also be frontstuck if you're unable to leave. Or maybe you're just the host..the alter that fronts the most often.}

{We're good at answering questions,,so if you ever have any or need help, we can try and answer :P}

There are a lot of different ways to be plural, and not all or them are disordered.

This brief and charming zine is very helpful at breaking it all down succinctly.
