Quick’N’Dirty Plural History (see also: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4)
Summary: "I may not be multiple, but I'm certainly plural! " - Jaye
Word Count: 3200 of at least 9000
Notes: This one won the Patreon vote by a landslide! This is the textual essay version of my video presentation for the Plural Positivity Conference, and sorry guys, even with the “quick and dirty” bit, it’s going to be long. Also, I can’t lie, most of my citations and sources for the early folks I only know about thanks to Baldwin’s Oneselves.
We’ve seen online plural groups rise, fall, and disappear into the ether over the years. So much of our history is so ephemeral, and those who forget are doomed to regret. When we remember our history, we learn from its successes and failures, build on its foundation, and take comfort in knowing we’re not alone. So let’s talk plural history!
