PMSC&

PMSC&:

PMSC& is an umbrella acronym that stands for Plural, Multiple, System, Collective, &, 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 the LGBTQ+ community and includes an ampersand (&) at the end. This is both because it is a symbol for plurality/non-singlethood, and because it literally means ‘and’, denoting there are 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.

This term is inherently inclusive of all forms of plurality, multiplicity, systemhood, collective identity, and non-singlethood, and against fakeclaiming of any kind.

The flag used is the plural pride rings flag by user xenodelic on Tumblr. The creator is open to anyone making their own versions or edits of flags for this term.
