I'm sorry, 20 people isn't a polycule or any sort of personal relationship network. That's a cult, a yoga studio, or a dorm room floor. They're not doing anything that someone needs to write an article about unless they all do something really kooky or violent to someone outside their circle

We learned a strategy from the Multiamory podcast called “agile scrum,” which was adapted from business-meeting models. We utilized that format. We did that for a year and a half, at least once a month, sometimes six to 10 hours of hard poly-processing.

Ann I have one partner now with three kids. He is transmasc, and he’s radical about the way he raises them. They’re radically home-schooled. They’re 17 and nonbinary, 6 and 5. They know everything in age-appropriate ways. They’ve seen their mommy undergo the transmasc experience, seen their mom become who they really are.I was up late last night with him in a hotel room, and the 17-year-old was in the room snoozing, so we just sat on the bathroom floor chatting about our relationship all night, and while that was happening my husband was texting to say, Oh, I got a last-minute match, so I’m going to meet this girl for a date. And then I get a text while we were still on the bathroom floor vibing, it was 4 in the morning, and he said, We had a great date, a great connection, she’s looking for friends with benefits, we had sex.

This entire setting here just strikes me as deeply awkward, happy for anyone who goes on their journey of finding their true selves but you know, seems weird to be at a hotel with one of the kids, they're sleeping in one room while you're vibing on the bathroom floor etc? I guess at least they probably didn't have much trouble finding babysitters for the five and six year old.

xp trans men, masc leaning nonbinary/genderqueer/etc, some butches, a transness embodying or moving toward a masculinity of some kind
conversely transfeminine/transfem(me)
umbrella terms to include trans men and women and people who may be neither but whose relationship to gender generally leans masc or femme usually in spite of social expectations for their "assigned gender at birth" (an increasingly toxic concept but it will do for now)
