I want to stress a couple things.

It’s possible to have #PluralPride.
It’s possible to like being plural.
Healthy multiplicity is possible.

None of this means it’s not hard.

None of this means DID/OSDD, and even non-clinical forms, aren’t challenging or even traumatic.

As a system, we’re happy being plural. We see our system as family.

We consider our plurality a blessing and do not intend to ever try to be a singlet or become one. It’s not for us.

What is for us? We want to be seen, accepted, and known as individual, separate, selves.

We’re loudly visible about this because we aren’t unique. There are many like us.

Those who wish to stay systems, who enjoy it, or for whom integration fails or is impractical, shouldn’t have to pretend to be one person if they don’t wish to.

And all systems deserve respect.
