(this is a crosspost from tumblr)
honestly, thinking about it. im realising the idea of a collective identity, outside of a collective name + pronouns, just. doesn't work for us
obviously there's all the aspects of the body's identity that are important and relevant when one fronts. race, age, disabilities, that sort of thing. but we don't really consider that... a collective identity, at least not remotely in the same way as a collective name or gender or anything. it's the aspects of our shared body, the body identity if you will
actually trying to pin down any sort of *collective* identity doesn't work, outside of us going by ceefax and using it/they IRL or when referring to us as a whole. and those mostly exist out of requirement
and tbh at this point i think we'd be happier without having any more of a collective identity than that. both since we enjoy being very individual and separate where possible, and also just that a lot of aspects of our identities are too different for it to really work in the first place!
