{I'm going to post this as it's own thing as well, since I'm pretty proud of it. This is in response to "The Future is Plural" and those who respond with The Future is Singlet. This entire thing is aimed at anti-endos, and I think is an important read for them. I also wanted it to reach my normal audiance as well, since a lot of you probably have some of the tags I tagged the original as blocked.}
"The future is singlet" goes back to what I reblogged earlier, which I doubt y’all would see since it’s a pro-endo post. Nobody is asking for there to be more abused kids. If they are, they probably aren’t speaking in good faith on this argument or they have something else they need to work through.
Let’s say that we know, 100% for a fact, the only way to be a system is through trauma. There is still use for you in that phrase. The point of “the future is plural” is not what it says on the tin, as you've shown. We’re not asking for there to be more systems, if we’re thinking strictly in your terms. We’re asking for it to be believed; for it to be taken seriously. We want it to be normalized in the way where if someone says “hey I’m plural” we believe them. We want there to be more understanding and less hate. We want to ensure that those ahead of us don’t have to face what we have, and that what those before us have done was not in vain.
You know why it’s not okay for clinicians to abuse their patients with DID? It’s not because they woke up one day and decided “maybe we shouldn’t be treating our patients like this.” It’s because activists before us did their job. Back in the ‘80s there were so many fucked up practices being done to those with DID, named MPD at that time. Which I must include because it is pertinent to the history of our disorder. Law suits have been brought to court and have been won over these practices. Now, while we are quite a bit better in terms of clinicians that specialize in DID, we aren’t in terms of the general population. They may still believe we are voilent and scary. They may still believe that it’s not a real disorder. They may still believe that it’s just like what they see on TV. Which, as everyone here knows, it isn’t.
We want to make sure they understand that we are humans, too. While we may be many, we aren’t terrible or lying or any number of things others who have no experience with DID think. We, as a community, deserve better. We deserve to be believed. We deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.
And so, I bring it back to one of my first points. Even if we were arguing for there to be more systems, it’s not in the way you desperately want to believe. It’s not begging for more traumatized children. It’s not through pain and suffering. Its a call for pride on all sides. It’s also recognition of the systems that just happen, it’s to celebrate the beauty of those who found their plurality and aren’t traumatized like you or I. You can believe that systems and dissociation ONLY form from trauma, but you wouldn’t be right. To the end where even Dr. Collin A. Ross, one of, if not THE leading researcher in the field, outright states that there are those out there who have been diagnosed with DID and who struggle with dissociation who have no trauma history. He himself has said that there are even people who are multiple that would not fit the criteria or don’t have the difficulty that those with DID must to experience for it to be the disorder it is. (Thanks sysmedsaresexist!)
If you won’t listen to those who experience endogenic plurality, if you won’t listen to those who have done research and have still come to this conclusion, if you won’t listen to those leading in the field of trauma and dissociation, then who will you listen to? How will you be able to make sure you’re not spreading the same misinformation and hate that the phrase “The future is plural” is a desperate plea to combat? How are you better than the endogenic systems you want to demonize so badly?

So annoying how people will see systems with multiple psychiatric disorders as proof of malingering even though it's more common for people with OSDDID to have a lot of disorders than not. Research papers show people with DID have on average 5-6+ axis-I disorders alone, but people will still shit on systems with large amounts of diagnoses and be like "Omg they're collecting mental illnesses like pokemon cards what a faker!!" I'm getting real sick of ignorant ass fakeclaimers not doing 2 seconds of research.

Being a system means sometimes hearing someone shout "Give me TEETH!" in an aggressive voice and you just have to sit there wondering what the FUCK IS GOING ON

Figuring out faceclaims & alter portraits is so difficult, especially as a polyfrag system, because appearances range from:
A literal animal
Just some guy
Just some guy with something obviously weird about them physically
Literal character/celebrity/etc.
Literal character/celebrity/etc. with something incorrect about them
Just some guy who does not exist and you can’t find anything similar because you don’t even know what to search for
?????
Animal with wings
The same face 30 times
Shapeshifter/Face-shifter
I swear I’ve seen this face before, I swear I swear I swear, it was like… some guy in the grocery store, right? Like five years ago? How in the world are we supposed to find a picture of them? I never even heard their name! No, I won’t scour local facebook groups to see if I can find them, and if you ask again, I’m going to that escape room without you!

My friend said they have DID/OSDD, what do I do?
As someone with DID, I can't speak for every system. All I can say is this:
do NOT under ANY circumstances tell them they're "making up" their symptoms.
they may appreciate it if you say something along the lines of "I'm sorry for what you've been through" since DID/OSDD is a trauma disorder.
Please for the love of god, DO NOT act excited. Don't say shit like "Oh really?? That's so cool!" because it isn't. Being a system is a hard mental illness to suffer through.
Support them. Ask them how they're doing, how everything is going within their system. However, you shouldn't only care about their system. Care about them as an individual (and plural) person.
Don't ask for them to switch. Don't ask to see their other alters. It's an uncomfortable thing for most systems.
I feel like this should go without saying, but DO NOT TRIGGER THEM. Not on purpose, at least. How would you feel if someone pushed your buttons until you felt like you were going to explode, and suddenly you wake up in a completely different area with no idea of how you got there?

I am unironically frustrated at the amount of anti endos that pop up on my feed. I don’t need that negativity. Find something else better to do than be a little bitch to other people. God damn

"So after almost a full year of therapy with me, where multiple sessions you have acted drastically different compared to most times, explained how you forgot sessions or complete periods of time, having your partner explain how you show signs of DID repeatedly at home during sessions, and doing a full assessment where you scored scarily high on, we are proud to finally announce you with a diagnosis of..... Unspecified Personality Disorder!"

Grandpa: Look at these drawings! It's crazy how you can draw all of these and make it look like seven different people drew them!
Us, a system: Haha. Yeah. Crazy. Haha. :)
We haven't bothered telling him about it, as he would Not understand at all. But it was very validating for us to hear, lol.

fun fact about me(&): acting is one of my biggest passions! (to be specific, Rory enjoys acting the most.) I'm an active member of the theater club and I've participated in school plays. whenever we have to do a roleplaying activity in class, i put way too much effort into it!! lmao
as an alter, i really enjoy dressing us up. putting on makeup and working on our skincare. elaborate costumes cost a lot so i can't wear those a lot, but being in stage plays allows me to dress us up extra special. :]
