It pisses me off when people put the word system in quotation marks when discussing endos. (typing it like endogenic "systems")

Is our mere existence that disgusting to you? Are you that determined to make us feel uncomfortable and invalid? Do you really feel that eager to completely reject our experiences?

Endos get no respect in most system spaces that claim to be safe spaces.

If you can't respect every system, then you respect no system.

If yall could stop lumping Dia de Muertos in your little Halloween events and shit that'd be great cause like...its not Halloween. It's not Mexican/"ethnique" Halloween it's not some cute little Halloween after party, it is its own thing.

Edit: yes you can reblog this

[positivitygenic]

it's okay to want more alters, headmates, parts, and so on. you aren't a bad person for that. it's gonna be okay.

my "suicidal hermit" lifestyle has been largely detrimental to my emotional wellbeing

[hemipenal-system]

hello, waiter? yeah, i’d like one human who comes into my den late at night looking for shelter from the blizzard and only struggles a little bit when my tail curls around their leg and drags them into my wings for me to use as a cute little living plushie, please

[hemipenal-system]

i’m a simple dragoness really. i just want to use my size to block the entrance to my cave, crouching low and stalking the poor soul foolish enough to trespass in my lair, forcing them to retreat further and further inwards to escape my slavering, snapping jaws, claws sparking off the stones as i purr that they can’t leave yet, i have further plans for them~

(the plan is laying against me as i purr and groom their hair with my tongue like a hatchling)

Our body is 26 today. At least a third of our life gone. I hate the holidays. Why do I have to be the one that always deals with our family and being deadnamed and misgendered for weeks. sigh

[briarrolfe]

I did an illustration for Trans Day of Remembrance today at work.

Our little community contains so much anger and grief, but it's because we love each other so fiercely. We remember our dead because their memory keeps us stubborn.

I love all of us today, and I hope you do too.

[dogpotion]

i love each any every one of you so very fucking much.

WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT

[kaibas-paragraphical-mind]

YOU COULD BE A FUCKING BADASS DRAGON THAT’S THE POINT

[who-the-f-ck]

“I AM A CREATURE OF DARKNESS” “oh hey sabrina.”

[shitsuren-chama]

I guess the point is that you could shapeshift into the body you always thought you’d grow into when you were a kid

taller, shorter, slimmer, more muscular, purple hair, tattoos everywhere, tattoos nowhere, 

every single shoe would fit you every single time you tried it on, every single article of clothing would fit your perfectly, all you have to do is transform slightly, you’d never run out of ‘your size’ again

and you wouldn’t have to work for it at all, and you’d never be limitted by your bone structure or something. You could just transform at will.

[elvenrainbow]

[bogleech]

I don’t see how this is much of a downside

When you turn into a sixty story tentacle demon and terrorize a city you want to get the credit you deserve

[revereche-deactivated20140508]

Oh man that would be so sweet. I could be an annoying fuck as an insect or something but you couldn’t kill me because everyone would know

[perpetualcombustioninstruct-blog]

That’s great but have you considered

imagine being at work minding your business and then suddenly you look out the window and see like a 50ft tall flamingo and then someone just says “oh, yeah, that’s just pete, he does this sometimes, don’t worry”

[brightlotusmoon]

“BRB, gonna be a cat-sized dragon for a few hours. Might come home a foot taller with mood tattoos.”

“Don’t antagonize the fae.”

“I AM the fae, Susan.”

[aqueerkettleofish]

Also, consider— people will know it’s you, but it doesn’t say they’ll know what you are. “So is Pete a 50 foot flamingo who changes into a man, or the other way around?” “We.. we don’t know. Barbara asked him once, but he just grinned. She said they weren’t the teeth of a human OR flamingo and she didn’t want to talk about it.”

“George, did you forget your coffee?”

[this-account-is-a-mistake]

ok but like the only difference here is if you dont press it you cant shapeshift. theres no loss in pressing it

[soraitmnt]

Look I can’t shapeshift now, at least after I’ll be able to shapeshift

Do you know what its like to be trans?

1, 2, and 15 for the ask game?

1: Indine hands down. Realize they don't have an I.D. post here so the brief version is they've got a Garnet-Ruby/Sapphire relationship type thing going on? There's 2 Indines that are part of the greater Indine whole, and they've been like that since the beginning, barring a shortish period where they were separated. Indine's happily back together, and Lina needs to get around to drawing them at some point cause they're the best babe(s).

2. Pleuris & Shizu I guess? They've got some tragic love story stuff goin' on. Basically Pleuris used to be H (short for Holardin) , and H and Shizu used to be an item. When Willow first popped into existence, they took the opportunity to form a family unit. At some point H got quite literally fried, got some major amnesia and became Pleuris. They had a major falling out cause Pleuris was a different person and Shizu missed H. After a few years they tried to give it another go, and they've been doing well together ever since, but there's still a bit of that lingering sadness about them.

15. NEW GIRL! She doesn't have a name yet, and just goes by 16. She Does The Kanaya Thing. But Also Breaks Up Phrases Like This. It's endearing but also gets annoying fast. She also pauses like that in speech. Eh, she'll get the hang of it eventually. Or won't I guess, we'll see.

[sophieinwonderland]

if you agree with the statement "even if endogenic was a word used by ableist scientists in the 50s doesnt mean endogenic systems should stop calling themselves that because of ableist scientists in the 50s", then you agree that it is morally okay to use the term "Asperger's", correct? the nazi term used to separate "good" autistics from "bad" autistics to aid in the killing of "bad" autistics? the term that actively separates and harms the autistic community? because endogenic is the same thing. this is the exact same situation, a term created and used by harmful people that is for some reason, still being being used.

please try to actually read what I'm saying instead of blowing me off, thank you. its a common trend for you to badly misinterpret what someone else is saying and create your own meaning

this is the exact same situation

Is it? Is it really?

In truth, I'm not overly educated on the history of Asperger's and am reading some conflicting accounts of the history of Hans Asperger, so I'm just going to take the details you provided at face value.

Neither "endogenic" nor "endogenous" were made by bad people. These words already existed before Freud used them. He didn't coin them.

These are basic words with a Greek etymology. "Endo" means inside or within. "Genous" means originating.

In contrast, Asperger is a person's name. The name of a Nazi or Nazi aligned individual according to this account. Who was associated with the deaths of disabled people.

Aspurger's is a specific word that only applies to this one disorder. It doesn't have any existence or meaning outside of that.

Endogenic and endogenous have a long history with broad uses in a huge variety of contexts. Both within and outside of psychology and psychiatry.

Now, despite saying I was going to take this at face value because I am still learning. I will say that from what research I've done, it at least doesn't look Asperger's Syndrome was actually a "Nazi term." It wasn't coined until 1976 by Lorna Wing.

From what I've gathered... the term Hans Asperger actually used for his syndrome in the beginning... was autism. (Well, more specifically, it was "autistic psychopathy.")

And that would probably be a closer comparison. A word with a complex history including some ableist uses along the way. But one that most reasonable people wouldn't consider ableist.

Which brings me to the question... do you feel autism should be retired as well due to the fact that this is what Hans Asperger originally called his disorder?

I feel you should by your logic.

...

...

In any case, there's one last point I want to make on this.

You know Freud was of Jewish descent, right? And that many of his works were destroyed by Nazis who hated the field of psychoanalysis that he founded? (In fact, Hans Asperger himself was an opponent of psychoanalysis as well.)

There's something that really rubs me the wrong way when the comparison you're making is between a word that you claim was coined by Nazis who used it to kill disabled people, and one that's being associated with a man of Jewish heritage who was victimized and persecuted by the Nazi regime.

I don't think this is intentional. I don’t think you woke up this morning and decided "you know what? I'm going to equate a German Jew who suffered under Nazi rule to his Nazi-aligned opponent."

But I do wish you would strive for greater awareness before falling on Nazi comparisons in syscourse.

Emotion machine broke?

tw: death, animal death, I dunno this is a bit of a ramble

So, our grandfather passed away sometime last year. He was an all around neat guy, and we got along well. But he was still fairly distant and his death didn't hit us hard. More accurately, it didn't hit us at all. Like, to the point that when grandma called on Christmas to wish us happy holidays, We Forgot He Was Dead, and told her to give him our best. Award for Worst Social Mishap of the Year goes to Taliska.

But more recently- last weekend recently- Our first ever dog died. The quintessential childhood family dog. We loved that dog, we begged our parents to get us that dog. She'd been getting old for quite a while now, so we spent the weekend at our parents' place, and the whole family just gave her company the whole time.

This completely eclipsed our sister's birthday that same weekend. Which, must have sucked. But she and the rest of the family genuinely had a good time with the dog. While we just... felt awkward the whole time. I didn't really think much of it until just now, when I was going through my phone's photo album and realized we didn't have a picture of her anywhere. Like, I dunno if it's appropriate to take a picture of someone you know is dying?? But at the very least, it would have been something to remember her by. And we'll never have the chance to again. But I don't feel...sad about it just, "Oh, well that kinda sucks I guess".

I understand that people naturally grieve differently, but I think we skipped all the usual steps, straight past acceptance and into negligence. I can't speak for all of us I guess, but I can't think of any proper mourning going on recently. Are we just sociopaths?
