A merry fuck you to the person in a discord two years ago who told me that medical and scientific accuracy should be prioritised over someones emotional safety in response to me saying that newly discovered and/or younger systems may say "alters are literally separate people in one body" as a way to process and cope with the fact they have this disorder.
A merry fuck you to the fact this person DOUBLED DOWN when I said that these systems may not be in a safe place (physically or mentally) to start looking at the (arguably very complex) science behind having DID/OSDD1/PDID.
And a final fuck you to the fact that this person went on a whole rant saying that you are not allowed to view your alters as separate beings, and that they didnt care if thats how your alters presented you have to treat them all the same way or youre anti recovery.
we experienced the opposite but it's just so fucked up how comfortable people feel trying to shove pwCDDs into one box or the other you're anti recovery if you're separate people you're self hating if you're not. we're all different people with different life experiences and different perspectives on our disorders there is no right way to view having alters all our experiences with having a CDD deserve respect
