What is a plural? 
A plural is according to themselves
Plurality is the state of having multiple headmates collectively sharing a single body. A group of headmates is called a system. Plural experiences are extremely diverse. Systems may be spiritual in nature or secular, median or partitionary, small systems or ones with thousands of headmates
According to regular people you might be aware of them as people who fake DID/MPD, You might've thought of it as a small mostly TikTok based community that was around for a short period in 2020 if any of you remember the infamous video
H-h-h-hey im oliver 
Now how do these people explain themselves after being accussed of faking DID 
DID is a specific psychiatric diagnosis. It is a Complex Dissociative Disorder(CDD) alongside several other disorders like P-DID (ICD only), OSDD, and UDD.
Some plural folks meet the criteria of a CDD, but many do not, as these disorders have very specific criteria- and experiencing 'more than one' experiences of various kinds is only one of those.
So they created a whole new spectrum lol
Some important words used in these spaces:
Plural = a person experiencing plurality 
Singlet = someone who isn't plural 
System = a group of people inside the body 
Headmate = an entity inside the system
switching = a headmate taking over the system from another headmate
sysmed = someone who believes "systems" can only exist in disorders such as DID

What are the causes of plurality (besides being an attentionseeker even doe i and (you) !attentionmaxxers are one aswell)
Traumagenic is the name for plurality caused from having trauma 
Plurality can also come from tulpamancy (if you didn't know tulpamancers are the coomers of the occult world)
and other causes are called endogenic which spawns the terms "endo" and "anti-endo"
Internet history
They seem to have begun in 2001 when a website named darkpersonalities created an article on why they don't identify with their diagnosis (im assuming this was actual diagnosed ppl not identifying cuz im not reading allat), But the actual time i found when this whole community i think took off is when in 2019 streamer protomagicalgirl disclosed their plurality, which made the xitter 
hashtag #pluralgang trend and made many people "recognize" they were also plural

Wasn't there a lot of pluralposting on tumblr during its golden age 10 years ago or whatever? Seems like most of these concepts were there back then.
It was always a good foil to hold up to gender ideology shit - "if I have to respect your gender identity than why don't I have to respect someone's identification as a plural system?" etc. Also applied to xenogenders, otherkin, etc.
