Being Told We Can't Have "multiple Personalities" By Some Chucklefuck Who Doesn't Even Have One.

Parasite and Girl

Defined by joy, Not my pain

While we have moments of pain, undeniably we have struggled both now and in the past, defining ourselves by our worst moments will only lead to us struggling further instead of allowing ourselves to grow as a person. Defining our existence by pain hinders our ability to heal. I will not be defined by pain, whether my own, or others.

As awareness of plurality continues to spread online, that also means more and more people will realize they are plural. And unfortunately, there will be a response from certain gatekeepy exclusionist types, who will push back against these newfound systems and insist on invalidating them. They’ll insist they’re just hopping on a trend, or just fooling themselves, or whatever other justification they can make up to maintain the idea that being plural is extremely rare and being plural means suffering for it.

Don’t fall for it. Being plural presents challenges and difficulties without question, but being plural also can bring joys and clarity that weren’t possible otherwise. Being plural can be hard, and it can be beautiful.

No two systems present and function exactly the same ways. No two systems are plural for the exact same reasons. So we can’t expect there to be an absolute common trait present in every system. So any attempt to weed out the “fakers” is pointless and malicious.

If someone believes themself to be plural, they have good reason to. No further “proof” needed. If someone comes to us believing themself to be plural, we will help them along without critique or question. And above all we will be happy for them. Even if someday they realize they aren’t plural, that process of being allowed to question and experiment is so important, and they should be allowed to do so regardless of where they end up.

Plurality is a spectrum that encompasses a vast swathe of experiences and outlooks. It can be difficult to reckon with, which is why community is so vital. And as that community online grows and becomes more and more visible, we should all do our part, systems and singlets, to make sure these newfound systems feel safe, seen, and welcome.

might be plural btw

I'll never understand how people can believe autistic people have no imagination. I have vast, and intricate worlds inside my head that I love visiting when I need to escape, and the same can be said for other autistic people I know.

host culture is being tired of people seeing you as the "real" one

With no headmates to counsel them AGAINST murder, inevitably the singlet protagonist becomes a serial killer.
