Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

i wish i could hold you but i never will be able to, and i will be envious of the earth that holds your body so tightly in it's embrace. i will hit the ground where they put you to rest, cry and shout that 'its not fair'. because how am i meant to live in this forgein world when the world i knew so well is rotting away in a prison which i can never hope to breach?

if u come at me with a "source" on endos that mentions being transgender, tulpa, or even the word sysmed

im not fucking reading ur source

CDD is NOT comparable to being transgender AT ALL

tulpamacy is a CLOSED PRACTICE

and SYSMED IS ONE OF THE MOST TRANSPHOBIC TERMS IVE EVER SEEN AND NO ONE FUCKING LISTENS TO US TRANSGENDERS WHEN WE SAY IT.

you CANNOT BE TRANSPLURAL. thats NOT how disorders work

you CANNOT make the brain randomly start splitting. CDDS develope AS A CHILD

THEYRE A FORM OF PROTECTION. DID IS YOUR BRAIN BEING TOO OVERWHELMED AS A CHILD TO HANDLE TRAUMA THAT IT PUTS UP AMNESIA BARRIERS TO PROTECT ITSELF. NOT SILLY CHARACTERS IN YOUR HEAD.

ALTERS ARE NOT THE ONLY SYMPTOM OF DID.

and even if in the slightest chance you can have alters without amnesia and trauma, it is NOT CDD

reminder that in the dsm5 it literally says "if the symptoms are caused by a religious practice, or reported not caused by trauma, DID should not be diagnosed"

"oh but doctors are studying endos" THATS LIKE 2 DOCTORS COMPARED TO A MILLION OTHER PROFESSIONALS AND RELIABLE SOURCES STATING OTHERWISE. YOUR SOURCE IS BULLSHIT

we have a ___ fictive in our system

‘OMG LET ME MEET THEM THEYRE MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER’

our headmate is not a character, the alters in our system are very much real people who mostly don’t associate themselves with their sources.

don’t be weird towards fictives just because you like their source it’s really uncomfortable

trans men with big tits. you agree. reblog.

introduction

we're so bad with doing these but here goes nothing-

hi! we're gorgona, we're a 15 y/o osdd sys, with a whole lot of other disorders! we use she/they/it pronouns and we're a polytheist! our blog for that is @doves-of-aphrodite! we're single, and are kinda fucking weird, but we'd love to make friends! we're russian, but live in west europe and enjoy many things, including:

mythology

languages

history

the marauders

and more!

we'll probably do alter introductions later!!

im a little queer worm for writing this

let our bodies intertwine the way our souls should, until we cannot tell where i start and where you end, let us become one person from how close we are, until not even the gods could separate us, for they would not know which parts belonged to me and which belonged to you.

our therapist once legit told a little who's a trauma holder: 'yeah yeah, now can i have *hosts old name* back?' because she didn't believe that we actually switched or that he existed???

Plural culture is I can tell our therapist only sees me (the host) as a real person and doesn't see the others as real or important enough. Kind of makes me want to disappear for a few weeks and let the others take over for a bit without me just to prove to her everyone in the system is capable and deserving of getting to live their life, actually. Not just me

Doing more than one? Choose whichever you found the most helpful. ❤️

[thecallofmedusa]

@plvt-inum this is literally us at you sometimes/pf

Plural culture is "do I suddenly feel better because the episode passed, or am I literally a different person??"

Google how to tell if I am me the host or not

Google who am I if not host

Google save me

Save me

Save me google

absolutely 100% agree, this is completely important to realise!! as a system who has dealt with a bunch of this, it's important to remember that your trauma is valid, and anyone who says otherwise can fuck off

The idea that emotional abuse and neglect have to be purposeful, with intent and malice, in order to be "enough" is wrong, and is not supported by science

I can't believe I have to say this.

Well meaning, well intentioned parents can and do neglect and abuse their children without EVER realizing it.

A parent can love their child and want the absolute best for them, and still fuck their children up in horrible ways that will stay with them for life.

When it comes to trauma and DID, this isn't an area where you can play Olympics. Anyone who can look at another person and go, "that wasn't enough, you have to have more trauma," is in the wrong.

You are flat out wrong.

Your behaviour is wrong.

Your facts are wrong.

Your understanding of trauma, CDDs, and DA is wrong.

Your actions and words are wrong.

Look at generational trauma, homophobic and transphobic parents that just "want their children to succeed" while stamping out any and all "weirdness", parents with their own mental illness that prevents them from responding appropriately their children or causes outbursts, parents with outdated strategies that they thought worked on them, parents that mishandle their child's outbursts with speed rather than understanding in mind, abusers that are young and don't understand what they're doing, single parents that work two jobs and now their kid has to take care of themselves and their siblings, nuclear families with low income, body shaming parents that just want to protect you from other's cruelty, the list goes on and on.

You've probably experienced more than one of these.

And probably for a long time, right? Maybe your entire childhood?

Huh, it's almost like that's repetitive, longterm trauma.

Do NOT let anyone invalidate your trauma.

It was bad enough.

More reading.

And more.
