Treating your headmates like separate people isn't worsening your condition by default by the way. Treating them with respect isn't making you dissociate more. Final fusion is a fine thing to try and achieve, but people need to understand that functional multiplicity is a thing you can work to achieve in therapy too. Please stop pushing the idea that you need to treat your headmates like a disorder or curse in order to heal. You can be happily multiple if you want that.

Pussy is not an insult

Grow up and use your imagination to come up with better insults

By the way, I just want to mention something about anon as a feature.

While I am definitely clowning on anons for sending anon hate, I actually love anon asks. The reasons why I make fun of the anon hate (such as the anti willo anon or daily accountability) is because they're sending hate anonymously. If you hate me so much, or insist I am evil and bad, then say it with your full chest. Be brave enough to show your face alongside your hatred.

But if you're being kind, or genuine, or you want to know something but you're afraid to send an ask with your main blog? No judgement here.

I almost never send asks using my main blog due to the fear of harassment, seeing as I've been harassed on other platforms for "being a sysmed," even when what I was posting was like... my writing. It's nerve wracking! But if I were to send anon hate, I would attach my name to it. I would be brave enough to go, "I stand by my words."

But I often send love anons, because I want people to get good messages. I often send genuine questions of discourse on anon, because while I'm scared of harassment, I want to know.

I don't judge anyone for using anon unless they're being a bitchass hater.

V - I hope your partner leaves a loser like you for a cooler hotter endo system

me omw to convince singlets to become plural

i really do mean it when i say the future is plural

[quoigenic-anon]

what do you think is the most important thing/trait to have when you syscourse?

Patience.

Ability to step back, process your feelings and separate your immediate feelings from your own opinion and facts you can operate with.

Self-awareness.

Ability to accept you can be wrong.

And ability to leave the conversation when it's pointless and more energy draining than worthy of your time.

Okay, very genuine questions here, for my systems who post a lot of information about their parts!

We are still newer to more interactive system spaces, and I see many systems who post a lot of personal information about their alters.

Stuff like names, ages, all that stuff. Even who is fronting at any and every given time that they post, whether with emojis or tags for whoever is fronting, or even signing off with their names. Or long intro posts about who all everyone is. It seems fairly common to me. We don't really do that. We don't often share names or ages, rarely even "system roles." Especially online, even in designated spaces.

So, I'm genuinely curious, for my systems that do post a lot of personal information about their parts:

What is the appeal of posting such personal things?

A more specific one for those who use emojis or name sign-offs in post, equally genuine and respectfully curious:

What is the appeal of letting people know who's fronting all the time?

Like, no shade, at all. I just really am very curious and I want to understand why someone might do that. Like, from a very genuine place of not understanding and wanting to understand just to... understand!

Oh, and a question to my fellow systems who do NOT share their information like this:

Why do you personally prefer not to share more information about your parts?

Our answer to that last question 👇

We don't always know who's fronting, we don't entirely know who all is in our head. So, that's one of the reasons we don't post much about this. We also have a very cautious frontmaster-

(it's what I've taken to calling her, but the term for what she is, it's kinda been coined as gatekeeper? But I think that sounds a little mean.)

And she doesn't really approve of us sharing information about our parts with just anyone. Not even people in our lives that we, or I, really love and trust and want to know. So, that's another reason.

We also don't have much of a headspace anymore, and still struggle with intersystem communication.

uhm, so I was reading through the syscource tag, and found all the BAH discourse?

and i don't knowthe full context, but I read alot about how persecutors could use them to create harmful headmates to the system

so im just cutely coming to front to say Persecutors can do that either way- I did that without knowing of BAH blpgs at the time. I brought someone from my source here to help me be a lil fuck. And I'm not the only from our system to do such.

Trust me babes, persecutors are gonna do that either way, privatising BAH blogs for that is stupid. If a persecutor can create other headmates they can just as easy do that from Pinterest, or from media like I did.

Its not on some random tumblr user to protect your system~

YES I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that this is blatant colonizer rhetoric.

Religion isn't a struggle for survival, it's literally just different belief systems that can, and should, co-exist. The idea that you have to be aggressive with how you share your religion is so vile, and just encourages more division between religious people, plus it furthers the erasure of the religions of marginalized people.

This kind of thinking is what caused so many beautiful religions to be eradicated via genocide. It wasn't the religion itself, it wasn't "natural selection", it was the thought process that they have to spread their religion as far as possible by any means necessary. It's the idea that their religion is the good one, and anyone from a different religion is automatically evil for not following their god(s).

We shouldn't be trying to push out "bad" religions for "good" ones, we should be advocating for the harmful rhetoric spread via religion to be changed. We should encourage people to leave bigoted viewpoints out of sermons, and to advocate for these religions to be more accepting of marginalized people.

Erasure is never the option, it never should be. The blame for a religion dying out should never be on the followers of it, but on the people who actively fought to force it out.

This kind of nonsense is literally just the same bigotry repackaged. Just colonizer extremism feigning progressivism.

It's sad seeing Obama making a tweet appealing to our "shared humanity" only for MAGAts to prove once again that they don't possess any.

You can either be a human or a MAGAt. You can't be both.

Syscourse hasn't had much sillyness lately, so have our stupid orange son that we love very much

The face of a man that doesn't understand how cat doors work and made us tape the door of his new litterbox open because he's dumb. He is the sweetest and most polite little man ever tho so it's fine, I can forgive him for his place in the orange hivemind.

Ok so therapy is like a map. It won't fix your problems for you but it will give you a guide of where to go and how to improve. Learning the commonly used tools and techniques can genuinely help you improve even if you're not in therapy.

That's the reason things like self diagnosis can be extremely helpful in some cases. It gives you a starting point as to what skills to build up and where to look for more treatment information. Plus like if/when you start looking for therapist, you know a bit about what kind of therapist to look for and what you want in a therapist.

if you're still accepting syscourse questions, do you have any thoughts on the idea that one must prove their suffering to be truly disabled? and do you have any thoughts on how that concept has affected system communities?

no one should ever have to prove their suffering. for disabled parking, the use of an aid, having a service animal, etc

i feel like it's affected the community with "your trauma wasnt enough" or "prove that you have a CDD / have trauma." it causes people to either be pushed into oversharing or being forced to hide completely.

basically, it turns healing into a threat of legitimacy and encourages comparison over connection, which isn't fair. systems shouldnt have to confess their history for public approval

[quoigenic-anon]

Plurality is not inherently a disability.

Spell it with me: Plurality. Is not. Inherently. A disability.

Plurality is "more than one" experience. Being plural means having this kind of experience in one way or another.

For example, spiritual plurality. I don't experience it, but I think it's not disabling. At least only by itself.

(maybe there are cases, correct me if i'm wrong)

Is soulbonding disabling? I don't think so. Not by itself.

So Sophie finally lost all of her marbles huh? Maybe it's finally time we talk about how horrifically disconnected she actually is from the real tulpamancy community. Believe it or not but despite all of her increasingly fanatical and ungrounded rants and stunts related to tulpamancy, she isn't as in tune with the tulpamancy community as she thinks she is.

Post coming soon, roughly a week or two. We've sat back and watched an account we used to really respect spiral out of control and misrepresent us for too long. Her reach is almost entirely contained to plural tumblr, a place which is far from the actual tulpamancy community besides the occasional redditulpas crossover. It's about time a tulpa system that mainly interacts with other tulpa systems said something.
