I hope this isn't a sensitive topic for you. I know it is for some people. Feel free to ignore this comment. But biologically, legally, and technically, alters collectively make up the same person.

One of our littles hurt a dog multiple times, and even though none of the rest of us feel personal guilt over it now, the fact is that gravity_leap did that. The little is entitled to our life and the identity we share. Did she lose the privilege of playing with dogs? Absolutely. Did she lose the right to call herself gravity_leap and be seen as gravity_leap? Absolutely not. No one could ever take that from her.

(For the record, the dog incident was when we were a young teenager in a bad environment. We more or less forced the little to stop what she was doing, although that was long before we knew about the disorder, and after that we were friends with him. He was a good boy. We used to hide on the front porch to cry and he would come lay his head in our lap. I miss him a lot.)
