sorry this is so delayed, but i’m still curious, is there anywhere that i can read about this stuff (maybe that you’ve written) ? like, what being a drone means etc. For the record i also dislike gender roles and support being in uhh closer contact with my fellow sophonts than just simple verbal communication like we have now, but idk how to really do anything meaningful about it until we get better tech.
i just recently saw a mention of my favorite transhumanist book “a fire upon the deep” and remembered that i never replied here. if you haven’t read it you might enjoy it too, or at least the parts about the nature of (distributed) personality/cognition among the aliens depicted in it.

I’m aware of three works of media about being a drone.
Basic introduction: https://swarmgender.carrd.co
Someone interviewed one of us at: https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/interview-with-a-drone-bc5c226d63a0
A drone wrote a song about the social challenges of being a drone in a binary society at: https://soundcloud.com/ivysharkgrail/dont-make-me-choose
And apparently we’re on the nonbinary wiki now
