Does anyone else feel bad when they have to pretend to be a singlet?

We get harassed at work just for being trans and we feel it's better to never explicitly mention the plural thing. It sucks when I'm stressed and have to say I'm doing things on my own because I'm not. I want to give credit to who I consider my real family for making sure I'm safe and that I eat when I'm sad and don't feel like garbage. I know they don't just take care of me because we share a body.

They're heavily involved in our external life and I wish there was a better way to talk about them without it making things harder.

Singlet here. It sucks that you don't feel safe being open about who your headmates are. I hope you have external friends that you all feel comfortable around. :( A couple of my best friends are systems, and I can't imagine any of them being anymany other than who they are. You shouldn't have to pretend. edit: linguistic oops

    might be worth saying anymany instead of anyone here, considering they aren't just one.
