I’m Melody, one of many in this brain!
Here are some example sentences using my plural they/them pronouns, from pronoun.is:
-
They went to the park.
-
I went with them.
-
They brought their frisbee.
-
At least I think it was theirs.
-
They threw the frisbee to themselves.
Plural!?
Yep, there’s more than one of us in this brain! This is really hard for us to put into words, so I highly reccomend reading Google’s Plurality Playbook for context on understanding dissociative disorders, as well as plurality as a whole. Instead of assigning names to this system, we’ll try to identify ourselves w/ emoji wherever feasible:
- —✨, the communicator and vessel (plural they/them)
- —🧙♀️, the magical nerd, v passionate (she/her)
- —🦊, the skilled vixen, wants fluffy tail (vi/vim)
- —🐙, the slightly horny gal (she/her)
- —🌵, the foodie, decision maker, non-verbal (they/them)
I go into a bit more detail in this Twitter thread. (I will still mostly refer to myself using “I”, however “we” will be used in contexts in appropriate.)
