<< ABOUT US >>

We are the CROSSROADS SYSTEM (or [XRDS] for short), a plural system - a group of people existing within the same body and mind.

We've been aware of our plurality since 2012, but we've experienced being plural since early childhood, before we can even remember.

We are:

• Physically adult, and most of us are adults in headspace
• Collectively nonbinary and transgender, collectively Queer, collectively alterhuman
• Physically intersex and transitioning as transmasc
• Neurodivergent in various ways, and physically disabled in various ways
• Variously fictives, most of which deviate from ‘canon’

We do not tolerate:

• Exclusion of endogenic / nontraumagenic / etc systems
• Ace/pan/bi exclusion
• Bigoted views towards anyone for race, sexuality, gender, religion, disability, neurodivergency, etc
• TERFs or anyone acting like them even if not identifying as them
• Any implication that being a man or being attracted to men is bad/impure/disappointing
• Any insistence that Queer is inappropriate for people to identify with
• Sexual harassment/inappropriate sexual interaction

Terms we use:

• “Headmate” “sysmate” “member”
• “Facet” (regarding our median subsystem states, not for members who are not median)
• “Headspace” “inner world” “inworld”
• “Exomemories” or just “memories”
• Please refrain from referring to us as “alters” “personalities” or “parts”, from calling what memories we introjected with “pseudomemories”
• We may use the term “alters” on occasion in reference to ourselves for various reasons but we don’t identify with it and don’t want others to use it for us
