'''Systems''', '''Collectives''', and/or '''Plurals''' are those who experience being more than one entity in one physical body <ref>https://morethanone.info/</ref>. Systems are under the [[neurodivergent]] umbrella, and are not inherently LGBT+, but being plural can impact [[Sexual Orientation|sexuality]], [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]], [[attraction]], identities, and/or [[gender]] (such as with [[systemfluid]]). Systems can also commonly intersect with LGBT+ experiences<ref>https://di.org.au/transgender-multiplicity/</ref>. The experiences may overlap to the point of one's [[queer]] identities being a large part of headmates, such as within [[queergenic]] systems.[[File:Treblesand.png|thumb|The treblesand, another symbol used in the plural community.]]Those in a system are called system members, headmates, or alters; though, it is important to be aware that 'alter' is medical terminology and may be considered desapizing by some. It is always a positive idea to ask what a system is comfortable with when it comes to terminology, no matter where the terminology stemmed from. |
