ok i just saw some dumb shit on an anti-end0genics blog, not saying who because i dont want them to be attacked either. i only searched so i could block them HAHA
but... aspen? as in the person who has consistently fakeclaimed other systems for not being what a system 'should be' in their eyes? the person who removed pluralkit and then called people who complained larpers? the same person who has called other systems delusional fakers? among other really shitty things to say to people who are mentally ill, and most likely minors (bc, cmon. tiktok is full of children)? are we REALLY talking about the same person?
like, i support (and am part) of the endogenic community myself but there is no way in hell that aspen is a supporter of endogenics. if anything, aspen is a bootlicker of psychiatry (which, though it is incredibly useful, there are things that are either not explained by it, or there are more vague and broad experiences that others have) and a spreader of harmful misinformation that harms both traumagenics and endogenics alike. you are literally only saying that because you dislike them.
(if anyone is reading this and knows who the blog is, do NOT post this on there. the last thing i need is to get attacked but legitimately that is a STUPID take)
Holy fuck. I’m aroace and haven’t had this experience (thank god I wasn’t online much as a teen), but that might have been because as part of a non-disordered System* most people who knew about my sexuality (or lack thereof), knew about me as distinct from my Headmate, and thus already had a socially acceptable reason to hate me.
My sister is bi and identified as lesbian for a long time, but our family and friends have been accepting, so she didn’t face much homophobia. A few years ago she said that maybe she shouldn’t be allowed at pride events, because “it’s not like she suffered for it.” Like, no???? No! I’m not accepting the idea that you have to meet a certain level of trauma to be queer. Most LGBT+ people not having queerness-related problems is kinda the goal here? And when people talk about their issues, you don’t say “your issues aren’t big enough.” Telling people they’re not hurt enough to join doesn’t keep your community safe, it just fucks people up.
*If you’re curious: we don’t know for sure why we’re Plural and if it was caused by trauma or not, and our experience doesn’t seem to fit with DID or any diagnosis we’ve heard of, but it’s pretty goddamn clear to us and almost everyone we’re close with that we’re distinct selves and Not Singlet. We have a few mental health issues, but we don’t think being a “we” is one of them.
idk can we stop…treating a.ce disc.ourse like it’s some haha funney cringe compilation or whatever the fuck because it fucking destroyed the entire ace and aro communities. there is no solid aspec community on tumblr anymore (which was by far the biggest number of aspec ppl). exclusionists took our community and fucking smashed it to pieces and y'all treat it as this fucking stupid joke when they traumatized, gaslit, and abused an entire group of queer people back into the closet. fuck every single person who doesn’t take that seriously.
Petition: Upholding Plural Rights and Plural Voices
The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) recently had a panel conference on “DID and social media,” featuring harmful and offensive content denouncing self-diagnosis and spreading the narrative that most systems online are faking it for the attention. In this conference, they showed footage of several Systems, without their consent, in order to publicly shame them and use them as examples of the “Imitative DID” that they claimed was rampant online. As a non-disordered System, we stand with those with DID and against those who would spread harmful claims that a majority of Plurals are lying about their Plurality for online clout.
This petition was created by The Plural Association, an organization created by and for Plurals, including those with professionally diagnosed DID.
