You aren’t obliged to tell anyone anything. If you care about identity politics, that’s a different issue. You’re either attracted to someone or not and there’s no label that can be put on a person in question unless they insist on having one.
The concept is kinda out there for me personally, and I’m a bit uncomfortable with calling a person “it,” but its pronouns are right there. I don’t really see a reason to deny its gender expression. Who are we to say “no, that’s not how you view yourself?”
I found a post on Lemmy from 3 months ago where someone said “As a swarmgender person, mind-melding is how I have sex. And I don’t want to fuck you, so I’m not going to let you into my head. “
I guess that makes sense, is there like a “queen” and “workers” or something? I guess i dont know much about insect social structures, i might be thinking anout bees specifically.

So it’s more like a shared consciousness among many bodies? (My only exposure to the concept of sci-fi style hivemind is starcraft zerg faction.)
As someone for whom social roles do need to make sense (not in a phobic way I just have that sort of autism) I don’t get it
