phantasmagoria of animegirl view

I am working on adapting a useful concept I was working on for a plural conlang some years ago to English: plurality oriented pronouns. It will likely take some time before I am happy with them, but I was recently reminded of the need for them.

I may post asking for suggestions on specific pronouns and suffixes in the future. When I am more awake, I will state the system's goals.

I will also discuss for some time with minimal jargon why I find existing constructions, specifically name&, to generally be cumbersome and discuss how I think they could be improved (as well as whether I think it would be worth it to attempt to replace existing systems at all). I also have issues with semiplural pronouns though I think they fill an important role.

I felt so good about my last therapy appointment last time that I'm actually looking forward to the one I have this evening, so I think I'm gonna start hinting at plurality with my therapist via casual usage of "headmate" and "system" if I can manage it.

They're trans and nonbinary and probably neurodivergent and didn't even bat an eye when I mentioned nonmonogamy, or otherkin, and when I asked them about their stance on self diagnosis they had a reasonable response that leads me to believe they're extremely unlikely to in any way override my agency.

in that, in both, you will always have an implicit bias, and failing to make that bias explicit may result in a lack of intentionality in who is made to feel welcome and unwelcome?

For everyone, there's a line. But please be very conscious and intentional about where you draw it, so you can differentiate between things that make you uncomfortable and things that are harmful. Don't be the queer-accepting parent who suddenly seems to abandon all your principles and rejects your kid's new weirdness you had never heard of.

"unconditional love" is a paradox to me. Be upfront with yourself about your conditions. Recognize that they are there and still try to be as loving as is reasonable. And recognize that it's not love unless the other feels your warmth. So be warm and be conscious about your coldness.
