Curate, connect, and discover
I've seen a few new, very aggressive anti-nondisordered plurality blogs pop up over the last week. Going out of their way to post anti crap in inclusive plural spaces. So I just want to remind everyone that:
No one knows you better than you.
No one knows what you're going through/experiencing better than you do.
There is no 'definitive 1000% way' to 'prove' someone is a system or not. It is a largely internal and subject experience. And that's absolutely ok.
You do not need other people's permission to exist.
You do not need to prove yourself/selves to others.
Your system's origins no matter what they are do not make you more or less of a systems.
You DO NOT have to relive or reveal any trauma/s you have suffered to prove your validity. And anyone who asks you to do so does not have your well-being in mind.
You aren't harming anyone by talking about your lived experience and seeking community with others that understand.
You are a human being who is deserving of respect and kindness.
Respect and kindness of someone else's lived experience SHOULD NOT be contingent on if they can scrounge up articles or peer reviewed studies on if an extremely personal experience is valid or not.
Over medicalization and pathologation of plurality as a whole is rooted in racism and colonialization.
Do not let others act as if they get to dictate who you are and what you experience. The only reliable witness/s to the inner workings of your own mind are those who reside in it. No one else can tell you how you think or what your internal experiences are.
(And its bonkers that some people try)
To any and everything system and plural out there regardless of origin:
You are amazing.
You are valid.
The world is a better place for having you in it.
