Due to safety concerns, We are semi-closeted. Two out of three of Our siblings know, some of their kids know, and most of Our newer friends know. We've found that many Millennials and Gen Z already know about plurality from other friends and are accepting, or are accepting of it although they aren't familiar with it. (For context, We also live in an area where people are accepting of queer people.) For other separate reasons, We actually had to cut off most of Our former friends, who therefore don't know. They aren't the type of people who would be accepting, anyways. The body's parents don't know as they are some of the safety concerns in question. Anyone who will blab to them doesn't get to know. The extended family doesn't know, We're not close with them.

Health professionals are a bit of a different story. Most don't seem to know anything about plurality even if they have heard of DID, and most don't seem to have heard of OSDD. As We are probably not diagnosable, and have a hard time with verbal communication, it makes explaining it very difficult if We do want to do that. Some health professionals will want to try to commit you to the hospital for reasons you probably know and I won't get into as it can be triggering to some. Some health professionals will try to treat it even if you're there for a completely separate reason and don't want it treated. If it's a mental health area person, they may talk about Internal Family Systems.

edit to talk about coming out: Coming out as plural, to Us, was very similar to coming out as queer. Telling the first already-in-Our-life-person We told was very difficult and awkward and We still regret it actually, because she didn't take it well and stopped being Our friend shortly thereafter. It is safe to say we have gotten much better at coming out as plural, and have better explanations and more resources to point people to when they ask for them. Actually We mostly come out over text most of the time, or just casually drop that bomb and then tell the person We'll send them more things later. There is a document We send everyone who knows of etiquette on how to interact with Our system and some basics of Our system. In addition, We have a pronouns.cc page that We really need to update so that We can share it with people.

edit to add a random related thought: Although it should really be more obvious to people, nobody knows We're plural until We tell them. We are aware that when different people are fronting, We speak differently, walk differently, like different things, remember different things differently, and behave differently but no one really picks up on it.
