You don't have to like weed but I find people who are vehemently anti-weed but claim to be left leaning infuriating. If you go into a rage because you smelled someone smoking pot, how the fuck do you expect to form community with people addicted to meth? It's easier to say you hate smokers than to say you hate all drug users in leftist spaces because one makes you sound a bit like a square while the other is the writing on the wall. You aren't anti-weed, you're anti-drug user and anyone who uses substances is not safe around you.

plurality is not defined by switching.

plurality is not defined by headcount.

plurality is not defined by an inner world.

plurality is not defined by distinct headmates.

plurality is not defined by communication.

plurality is not defined by getting along internally.

plurality is not defined by an origin.

plurality is defined by multiple consciousnesses/identities in one body. if you say you’re plural, we and many, many others will always believe you. no two plurals are the same, and no one can tell you what you are or aren’t 💞

One of the more annoying impulses of nominally leftist people living in the Global North (and I say this fully knowing that I have had this impulse in the past) is that they'll see a person from the Global South articulate some pretty obvious fact, like how the current gap in wealth between the two global poles isn't a natural state of affairs but actually the relative privilege of people in the Global North is maintained through exploitation of the Global South... they'll take it personally.

Like, you'll see someone articulate the fact that "hey so actually the fact that people in Finland can have cheap bananas all year round is actually indicative of global inequality and Finnish people's relative privilege over people in the global South" and people will draw the conclusion that the only reason that person would be saying that is because they want to call you a bad person. Therefore, because they called you a bad person, they're actually being mean. And when you think about it by being mean they're actually being the oppressor, and it's only natural that you respond by becoming Megahitler.

Anyway this is another indication of how sometimes people on this site play reactionary opposite day. It's a whole "actually masculinity is demonized" but with global inequality. Like those farmers in South America are the ones who are oppressing us by making coffee so dang expensive. How dare they actually.

Not to diminish the experiences of anyone but...

"I have amnesia that makes things extra hard for me. Therefore it upsets me when I see people who claim to have the experience of plurality without trauma causes or the dysfunction I experience and so I assume they're all roleplaying."

Like... There's traumagenic systems without DID or OSDD-1 who don't have memory issues. There's OSDD-1 systems that don't have memory issues. And there's endogenics who do have memory issues. It's not like amnesia is this golden yardstick measuring validity.

targeted at the alterhuman community, but applies to everyone

you need to relearn what "harm" means.

harm is (broadly) defined as "actual or potential ill effects or danger."

someone having an experience that falls outside the bounds of shallow, insignificant research or strict socially constructed boxes and putting that into appropriate words does not fall under the definition of harm. someone being open, honest, and constructive about their hallucinations/delusions does not fall under harm (it can be healthy, even). being fluid, complicated, weird, or uneven doesn't fall under the definition of harm(ful).

the only thing that could make an internal experience remotely harmful to outsiders is the way you externally go about it

you are not inherently harmful and you are cared for. discourse DNI

The "societies in high-magic fantasy settings where body-altering magic is widely available would obviously have a very different relationship with gender than our own, and I feel the implications of that are worth exploring – purely as an intellectual exercise, of course" to "hey, wait a minute" pipeline.

being a symbolism enjoyer should humble you because at the end of the day no matter how eloquently you articulate it youre essentially saying "i love it when things have meaning"

Hi it seems like you made a post but forgot to make it about me?

if anyone is ever trying convince you that an entire class of people is universally unsafe and you shouldn’t interact with them “for your own safety” or that you should only interact with others in your class because that’s the only way you’ll stay safe they’re projecting past trauma or lying. Everyone is capable of harm. No one is obliged to it. We can be sympathetic to those who have been hurt without reducing people to immutable traits that prevent us from empathizing with each other.

If you're going to talk about the Vatican's role in queer oppression by using LGBTGIA+ but only ever talk about how it affects lesbians, gays and trans folks, with a small mention of intersex people, but completely omitting the way the institution of marriage, and thus the conception that only a heteronormative family is to be considered "natural", also oppresses and it's violent towards the aspec community, you're actively deciding to erase us. You can't even pledge ignorance, cuz you're using the full fucking acronym. You know the A doesn't stand for Ally. But obviously you can't be considered one for us.
