I've also jokingly started calling us the Shrodinger's Singlet because being pluralflux is confusing asf and I was very confused and still get confused about the status of our system💀

I love hearing about system / collective names and the inspirations behind them! Its a really special aspect of being a system, and it's one of my favorite parts, because everyone's names are unique and have a very special meaning behind them.

fellow systems, if you have a sys / collective name, reblog and share what it means to you, if you'd like! ^-^

We chose the name Lighthouse Collective after outgrowing our previous system name, Potato Chip Squad, in more ways than one. Our system pretty much doubled rapidly over the span of about a month or so, and the old system name became linked to some rather sucky traumatic experiences, and we felt like we needed a fresh start.

Lighthouse Collective as a name came to us as a symbol of light, hope, and positivity in the aftermath of those darker days. When we changed it, the weight off our shoulders was amazingly freeing.

I can't wait to hear others' stories!

Hot reminder that you can just be trans. It's fine. You don't need extreme dysphoria or anything.

I started transitioning because I didn't vibe with being a guy. That's it. I'm just happier as a girl.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/pos

It's okay to use contradictory labels. I know, I'm probably being redundant here. But I want to make sure anyone who hasn't heard it today gets to chance to hear it. You're valid. I don't care if you're a boy in whatever way, and you're also a lesbian, nor do I care if you're a girl in some way and also gay. I don't mind if you're omni, pan, bi, poly, or abro and a lesbian/gay. Are you aroace spec as well as mspec? Nice! Are you a mixture of all of these things? Something I missed? Cool!

Complicated identities are no less valid than identities that fit into boxes. And I will keep saying that, because there are still people in the world who insist on what you can and can't be (I swear I've said something like that word for word before, but sbsbs), whether it be your average homophobic grandpa or some exclusionist on twitter.💀

I will always advocate for every queer person's right to be a fully autonomous sexual being-and that always must and always will include asexuals. Recognizing the significance of queer sex should not mean that every queer person should be mandated to meet an arbitrary sexual prerequisite in order for their queerness to be affirmed. Centering queerness around sex leaves very little room for queer folks for whom sex is insignificant, or for whom sex is never or rarely possible, or for queer folks who have never had sex before, or for queer folks whose only sexual experiences have been violent. It also leaves a lot of queer people, especially young ones, feeling pressured to have a certain amount or certain type of sex in order to legitimate or prove their queerness to themselves or to someone else.
