In this raw and illuminating conversation, we sit down with Baggins—a genderqueer, polyamorous, asexual Bottom living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and chronic illness. Baggins shares openly about life with a system and alters, the journey to self-identification, and how they navigate intimacy, CPTSD, and complex relationships.
We explore what it means to be ace, the reality of being polysaturated, the nuances of self-diagnosis discourse, and the layered experience of living at the intersections of queerness, disability, and trauma.
Whether you're curious about DID, polyamory, or asexuality—or just want to hear a deeply human story—this episode offers education, empathy, and truth-telling.
Terms we explore:
-
Ace: Asexual; someone who rarely experiences sexual desire.
-
T: Short for testosterone.
-
Meta: A metamour; your partner’s partner.
-
Polysaturated: Not currently open to additional romantic partners.
