I don't think the people advocating for endogenics and non-CDD systems to "just use other terms" like polymind realise how utterly invalidating it is to systems.

There's a big difference between polyminds and endogenic systems.

With polyminds, you're recognizing parts of your own personality - the part of your brain that's anxious all the time. The part that nags you like your mother used to, in her voice. Your inner child. The part of you that comes out when you have to give a speech that can do it without breaking a sweat. The part of you that really loves Legos and dreams of building an entire room in your house out of them.

Endogenics aren't giving names to parts of one personality. Each member in an endogenic system has their own subparts. We're more separated than in a polymind - we don't all aquiesce at the end of the day to one overarching ego. We each have our OWN id, ego, and superego. We each have our own inner child, inner critic, inner Lego fan (LOL) etc.

What's more, we're each people, with all that entails. We have our own thoughts and opinions. Hopes and fears. Motivations. Reasons for living. Senses of self, gender, sexuality, identity. Patterns of thinking and behaving.

We're not simple parts of one person. Not even us median systems - we medians may usually be to some degree parts of a whole, but we're more independent than a singlet's or polymind's parts. There's more division between us median facets, and we're much more closer to whole full separate people than in a polymind.

So please don't say or imply that we endogenics should just call ourselves polyminds and separate ourselves from the system community. We're systems. We're many independent entities in the same body and brain, not mere parts of a single person given a name and treated like separate people to help the central individual better understand their own self.

Each endogenic systemmate has their our own selves to figure out. That's what makes us a system.
