Found a neat post on Pillowfort about individuality when sharing a brain/body:
This has sort of ended up with us coming to the conclusion that Chill Is Best when it comes to running our collective lives, and that's allowed us to simply strike a nice balance between holding ourselves up to system accountability and being allowed to express ourselves as individuals
While this post was written from the perspective of being in a large system with hundreds of headmates, a lot of it def rings true for our personal experience as a smallerish system. Especially the first few points about letting people do whatever and employing basic, practical rules (don't harm people, etc), instead of making rules that force everyone to fall in line with a Singular presentation based around a Specific headmate's preferences.
(Which, honestly, I thought was common practice to begin with... but it sadly wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't actually the case.)
