We find it difficult to categorize ourselves in terms of gender, sexuality, alterhumanity or lack there of or even what sort of system we are.

Everyone's attraction is entirely different, and although some of us look human, almost none of us consider ourselves wholly human.

It might be due to how fluid we are in many senses of the world, or that it's not been long since we discovered our systemhood, which of course complicated things.

We acknowledge the fact that our body *is* human, and that our lack of connection or desire for humanity stems from dehumanization trauma and the alters that formed from that trauma.

As sad as it might be, our identities' core is dehumanization, which is what colors everything that we are. Our queerness, neurodivergency and much else.

We (almost subconsciously) chose the dragon as a representation of our collective thanks to its negative connotations in western culture. That said, very few of us actually see ourselves as dragons.
