PMSC&

undefined:

An umbrella term that is an acronym for Plural, Multiple, System, Collective, & that was coined by @yamazakura-chan

in August 2022 to be a more inclusive term for all non-singlets, whether partially or fully non-single.

The term is formatted similarly to the acronym for LGBTQ+ and has an ampersand (&) at the end both because it is a symbol for plurality/non-singlethood and it literally means ‘and’ denoting there is more identities not mentioned in the acronym that are still included. It also acknowledges that not all non-singlets like or use one specific term to describe themselves and their experiences. For example, not all non-singlets identify with the term System and may prefer the term Collective and so on.
