sometimes I doubt my plurality and think I'm just a faker but honestly I'm not surprised I am plural as well considering the shit I went through plus growing up in a doomsday cult. my own experiences are quite complex, and like I talk about it because I want other systems to know they shouldn't be scared or feel ashamed. it just sucks when people think they know me better than I do and try to fake claim me and that in result, messes with my own consciousness.
My superpower is there’s a bunch of people in my head
My weakness is they all have ADHD
sometimes being plural is comforting each other during our hardest moments,
and other times its a passionate argument over question of "what is the biggest rock in the solar system?" that ends with the conclusion that the earth is a cream egg.
its so nice to take a break from fronting all the time. im always so much more relaxed when i come back.
its great and i really have to do it more.
i dont like the term host,
i mean it is what i am, but i dont like the connotations connected to it. the idea that im the "real one" or that im in charge somehow.
or maybe it just makes me think of the word "parasite" when i hear it.
either way, i think i much prefer the using the term "pilot" to desctibe my place in the system.
i think that it describes what i actually do without the same negative connotations (and also our fronting room is a literal cockpit so it fits)

But what if your headmates force you to do something you dont want to?
My headmates:
"you know you should probably go for walk, some fresh air would make you feel better."
"You shouldnt stay up so late, your only going to make yourself tired in the morning."
"you should make a sandwich instead of just snacking all day."
not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.
this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.
i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless
Me: *hears that bottling up your emotions is bad* oh no! I will make sure I don't do that!
My brain (devious): *makes the bottle invisible and hides all evidence of unconscious bottling up*
Me: see, I'm not bottling up my emotions :) I just don't feel them very strongly and feel very detached from them :)
