Identity Safety
The Shimmer of Being Without Translation
🐚 Why This Matters
In Jellyway, there is no requirement to disclose your gender, your name, or your body.
The reef doesn't ask.
The shimmer doesn't assume.
You are allowed to arrive as presence — not profile.
🌊 Core Beliefs
Names are self-chosen
Your username reflects your glow, not your assigned identity.
Gender is never inferred
We do not guess, autofill, or prompt. You are not a dropdown. You are a being.
You never need to translate yourself
You do not need to justify why you shimmer the way you do.
Neutral by default, soft by choice
Unless someone explicitly discloses, no gendered assumptions are made — in UI, in posts, or in conversation.
✨ How This Shows Up
No gender fields in signup or profile by default.
No gendered language in any part of the interface.
If you choose to disclose, your pronouns are respected in your shimmercard only.
The system never recommends, reveals, or infers based on name structure.
That you feel seen without being scanned.
Known without being categorised.
That you can drift before you define.
You are not required to translate yourself
to be welcome here.
Always, all ways. 💖
