"No man is an island" (Donne)
"Are we not men?" (Devo)

We are not, we are ... complicated.

🐈 (they/them): usual co-front
🦋 (they/them): sort-of subsystem, core and host
🥀 (they/them): part of 🦋, co-front
🌄 (she/they): part of 🦋
🖤 (she/they): Shadow, part of 🦋
🏰 (he/they): part of 🦋
📚 (he/they): part of 🦋
🎭 (he/him): part of🦋
💀 (he/him): Santos, part of 🦋 (no longer dead)
🦡 (he/him): Brother Gabriel (not a badger)
🀄 (they/them): Wine-Dark Sky (a dragon)
✒️ (he/him): Aurelius (not entirely human, possibly a subsystem)
🦄 (she/her): Tuppence, occasional co-front (horny *and* innocent)

Other combinations:
🏝️ (they/them): whole system, when needed.
⚓ (they/them): the fronting blend of 🐈 and 🥀 which is what the world sees as a singlet.

Not posting:
Abelard and Eloise (non-verbal, non-human, sort-of subsystem)
"Small" (a little): part of 🦋, somewhat age-slidey
"Tiny" (a little): part of 🦋
Other little parts of 🦋 known to be present but not in communication
The body (to be considered part of a fronting triumvirate)

I/me/my 1st person pronouns indicate ⚓ acting in the wider world, we/us/our for talking about the system as a collection of individuals, and sometimes wit/unc/uncer for the system as the whole (🏝️) or the 🦋 subsystem. This last set is the Old English 1st person dual pronouns, re-introduced to Modern English to signify a plurality limited to the speaker. The corresponding 2nd person pronouns are ġit (or git or yit)/inc/incer, but wit are not bothered whether you use them or not, since Modern English has already conflated 2nd person singular and plural into you/your.

⚓ has accounts across many platforms which link to work and family, please respect their privacy and keep it secret. Wit use emoji rather than uncer names where disclosure would threaten anonymity. 🏝️ does not have a real system name -- Indigo Trader is just a convenient handle.
