Plural Information - General Plurality
Gender & Identity
What happens if a new headmate sees him/herself as a gender different from the sex of the body, or does that ever happen?
Yes, this is normal. Some may become uncomfortable fronting with a body that is a different gender than their own body. If it does bother them a great deal, they don't ever need to front. It isn't a requirement.

Children
Do people with 'healthy' Plurality have children living with them?
Yes. Children aren't only with 'disordered' groups.
Do natural groups normally have littles?
For some groups, Littles are just another word for children. Groups of all description may have children, or none at all. Children aren't 'system exclusive'.

Health
Can Plurality cause physical illness?
It could cause illness. Living as a Plural and keeping it a secret is very stressful. Too much stress can lead to illness. Also, it could be possible for a Fronter to carry an illness with them to the Front. Some of their symptoms could be brought forward; fever, coughs, headaches, even asthma and light sensitivity. Wouldn't say that being Plural alone will cause illness though.
Do you think Family therapy would work as a model for Plural group therapy?
It would be nice to have the opportunity to speak with someone who understood Plurality as something other than a disorder. This way, there can be discussions on the difficulties some groups experience while needing to lie about themselves and other issues that only Plurals have to deal with.

Naming
Do you think group names should have a meaning of some sort?
Not really. Some choose names that are relevant for them. But someone could take on the name Visine Eye Drops if they really wanted.
Do you think it's okay for someone to have a group name if it just 'sounds catchy'?
I don't see why not.
