Me knowing I'm a system, after someone just referred to us as "you guys":

gatekeeping plurality because if i'm too open-minded my headmates will fall out

[when-the-bug]

Plurality is so funny bc. like.

WHO BECOMES A FICTIVE HEADMATE!?

❌ Various self-insert characters I had for years

❌Various other ocs and kins I had for years

❌Various characters I had fixations with lasting years

✅Character I think was "kinda cool" that I remember I used to like in middle school (Inexplicably started researching and loading my brain with knowledge of his source (even I was confused as to why) and then he just appeared)

tween headmate pointed this out the other day and. you know what yeah she's right

Something that ticks me off a lot is when anti endos use ableist language to attack endos, and defend themselves by saying "you can't be ableist towards someone who isn't disabled." Alright. Sure. Lets apply this logic to other things. If you use a racial slur towards someone who is not of a different race, does that mean what you said is not racist? If you use a homophobic slur against someone who isn't gay, does that what you said is not homophobic? If you use a transphobic slur against someone who isn't trans, does that mean what you said is not transphobic? No, it does not. Racist language is still racist, even if the victim was not of a different race. Homophobic language is still homophobic, even if the victim was not gay. Transphobic language is still transphobic, even if the victim was not trans. And ableist language is still ableist, even if it was used to attack someone who is not disabled. Meaning using ableist language towards endos is still ableist. Thank you.

I just honestly think “sysmed” is a better term than “anti-endo” because they’re not just against endogenic systems.

They’re against traumagenic non-disordered systems.

They’re against traumagenic systems who are disordered by something other than a CDD.

They’re against traumagenic CDD systems who support endogenic systems.

They’re against traumagenic plurality if the trauma happened as an older child, teen or adult.

Some are even against traumagenic CDD systems if that CDD isn’t DID or OSDD (and sometimes OSDD doesn’t even count to them).

They’re not just anti-endogenic. They genuinely believe that everyone who doesn’t 100% agree with them are faking or enabling faking.

It’s more accurate to say they’re system medicalists (“sysmeds”) because they aim to pathologize (medicalize) plurality as a whole and leave out everyone who doesn’t have a dissociative disorder (and even some who do). Yes they are anti-endo but they're also anti-DID if it fits their narrative.

Is it a headmate? Is it a fragment? Is it a facet? Is it a persona? Am I subconsciously masking? Am I subconsciously/involuntarily otherlinking/copinglinking? Is it a kinshift? Is it a ’flicker? Is it age regression? Is it a mood? Is it impulsivity? Is it an intrusive thought that I’m reacting to? Is it genderfluidity? Is it pronoun/namefluidity?

Who knows! Who cares! I don’t need to stress about this, it doesn’t matter! It’s a mode that the “I” is in, the way I feel in that moment! And I will make a pluralkit/tupperbox for it so I can express myself and decide the rest later! Or never! These labels are a construct! Personhood itself is a construct! I don’t need to box myselves! I can just live!
