TW: people being afraid to come out as plural, bigotry against plurals
I know a prominent SJ activist on tumblr. They recently came out to me as being part of a plural system. I asked them, mostly out of curiosity, why they weren’t open about it.
They told me that they knew that if they came out, all of their credibility would vanish. Everything they’d written on -isms, justice, every person they’d helped or educated, nothing would matter once people found out they shared their head with others. Given the state of tumblr’s opinion on plurals, I had to agree.
So.
Can we stop being fail about plurals now?

thank you so much. It starts feeling like you have to black out a bingo card just to get accepted, and it’s honestly ridiculous.

This is something that interests me. It’s not specific to plural and otherkin, though that particular bit does show up...

I sort of wish I never came out as multiple/otherkin.
