“The future is plural!” Is admitting you want traumatized children who were hurt to the point they formed Dissociative Disorders to live happy and fulfilling lives and no you cannot argue otherwise.
Plurality doesn't mean having DID or OSDD, it involves the presence of multiple beings in one body!
Keep an open mind and come and explore with me about endogenic systems!
Thank you, now let's see...
First things first: I've been studying theory of structural dissociation for a few months and most about plurality for 2-3 years, also know that I could make some mistakes, so I apologize if I misinformed anyone
There are 4 different types of categories for plurals
1. Created: created plurals are formed by intentionally forming new selves, this includes but not limited to practices such as:
- Hypnosis: getting into a trance state, being open to suggestions, visualizing a person, and letting the subconscious mind picking the headmate's personality and identity
- Thoughtforms: visualizing a person/entity, consistently interacting with them, later they'll develop a mind of their own
- Soulbonding: Engaging deeply with fictional characters until they are experienced as autonomous inner voices or presences
- Mediumship/channeling: Ritual or trance practices to invite alternate “voices” or personas
- Subliminals: listening to hidden affirmations in a song that could lead to symptoms of plurality
- Self-talking: consistently talking to yourself (back-forth conversation) to the point the other you feels separated
If you can create a headspace, try creating a headmate;
2. Spiritual: Spiritual plurals are created from spiritual beliefs, there isn't any other explanation, it's just belief and rituals;
3. Adaptive: here also lies DID/OSDD, but it's not in the endogenic category so it's not included here mostly, common formations are due to autism, adhd, bipolar, bpd, OCD, schizophrenia, and other conditions, but it isn't always about the conditions, some CDD lsystems have endogenic alters, due to ANPs where they form from needing to handle specific tasks in their life (working, teaching, parenting, etc)
4. Spontaneous/Unknown: the very known stereotype about endogenic systems! Not much studied by me though.
Now, quoting what you said: "«the future is plural» is admitting you want traumatized children" is deeply invalidating and offensive to plural systems, including spiritual, those who regret becoming plural, those who became plural intentionally due to trauma, quoting you again: "children who were hurt to the point they formed Dissociative disorders" again this is offensive for plurals, every plural is dissociative naturally, however that doesn't harms them or anyone else.
So in short you don't need DID/OSDD or trauma to become a plural system, because plurality is the symptom, but you don't need a whole disorder to be valid, there's no "actual" plural.

The link in the "practice dissociation" section of your tips post is broken because the OP was termed. I'd suggest replacing it with this reblog https://www.tumblr.com/tridc0llectr/763735347634012160 or better yet running that link through archive.ph
I'm so transDID I'm making a headmate whose sole role is to help transition
Woah!! Thats interesting!!
Perhaps you can try to assign the headmate more stuff, until it develops more, you can create more alters, but don't create too many alters at once, one at a time is appreciated for your brain!!
transplural tips for those with aphantasia? its hard for me to create an inner world and inner people bc i cant. imagine things lol
Okay, here's something that might help!
- you can be plural and have no visualization skills! You only need the little voices in your head that speaks to you, assign those different voices to the desired alter
- imagining urges will also help, because let's say a little gives you the urge to buy a toy, and you feel this urge to do it!
- after all, you just act as if you already are plural, no need visualization.
heyy!! so, for the post that contains tips for transplural folks, most of thr links dont work,,, do you remember any of it and/or do you know any similar posts??
Hm... It works for me, perhaps it would work if you get on the website version?/genq/notsure
heyy!! idk if you're still active, but do you have any tips for practicing splitting???
i do actually go through a lot of stress but im also transdid so id like to know how i could practice splitting if possible
Hiii!! My best answer is to fake it till you make it!!
"Alright?... alongside that?"
Well subliminals, hypnosis (I have some tips on how to hypnotize yourself), and even creating an inner world would help
It might help if after one singular stressful event try not to think much of the event, if you still think you remember it, well that's because of the alter forming, doubt that? A faker knows they're faking ^_^
Quidditism is an ideology and a movement that seeks to take peaceful action to push the world towards an accepting, tolerant and fully free future, where everyone can thrive without fear.
Why quidditism?
The word 'quiddity' has 2 major definitions. The first one being "whatever makes something what is is, the essence". The movement seeks to establish a world where everyone is allowed to fully embrace themselves and who they truly are. In other words we wish for people to embrace their essence. The second definition of the world 'quiddity' is "deviation from an established pattern or norm, eccentricity". The quidditism movement focuses on marginalised identities such as LGBTQIA+ identities or paraphilias as these people are not allowed, in today's society, to flourish as themselves without fear. In other words, the liberation and normalisation of people considered eccentric, whether it be by their gender presentation, attraction or neurodiversity, is central to our goal.

Quidditism's core values
Now, let's go over quidditism`s beliefs and summarize them.
Radical Inclusion
Radical inclusion is the first of the values we'll go over. Being a radical inclusionist means accepting all 'good-faith' identities. But what even is a 'good-faith' identity?
There are 2 main criteria for an identity to be of 'good-faith'. The first one being that the identity is genuine, and not taken up to prove a point, to grift, or to be generally disingenuous. In other words, if you genuinely identify with it, this box is checked. The second criteria is the one where controversy arises, It is generally defined as being harmless. However, what is considered harmless may vary from individual to individual. Quidditists generally consider that as long as it doesn't do any real world harm (like taking up limited resources, although it is rare a simple identity can achieve this) and tries it's best to be non-offensive and non-bigoted, the identity is good faith. In other words, identifying as a transvestite because it feels right to you, and while having read up on the terms history is completely good faith, however identifying as the same thing to try and mock trans people isn't.
So, quidditists are radically inclusive: they support any genuine identity that does its best to be harmless.
Paraphilias & Contact
Now, we talked about paraphilias above. A paraphilia is defined as an unconventional sexual attraction. In our day & age, homosexuality isn't considered one, however back when the fight for the LGBTQIA+ community was far less advanced, it was considered a paraphilic disorder.
Wait a second, what even is the difference between a paraphilia and a paraphilic disorder? Nothing except the "disorder' part, aka the factor of "is it causing harm or distress to you or people around you".
However, paraphilias are never inherently considered disorders in quidditism.
Having said that, we consider them the same way as we do kinks and fetishes. They are cousins after all: kink regroups all use of unconventional sexual practises or fantasies while fetishes are a form of sexual desire strongly linked to a particular thing or activity. They overlap a whole lot, don't you think?
In general, we will use these terms interchangeably.
You could summarise quidditism's contact beliefs by "if it is consensual, it's fine", but you would need to define consent for this. So what is consent?
Consent, as a noun, is defined as the permission for something to happen or the agreement to do something. As a verb, it is defined as giving permission for something to happen or to do something.
Additionally, anyone who consents must be able to back out and change their minds at any point before, during or after what they initially consented to without fear of repercussions. They should also feel free to give (or not) their consent in the first place, and not be forced to do so.
There are a few points that we will examine further here.
Firstly, consenting to sex in itself is a complex thing and not just the act of understanding and agreeing, so there must be both a technical understanding of sex along with an emotional understanding of sex for consent to truly be possible.
Secondly, anyone of age and not under the influence can consent before regression, use of substance, sleep or death.
Thirdly, animals cannot consent to sexual acts due to not having the cognitive ability and speech for it. Additionally, just because an animal's body enjoys an act does not mean they consented to it, as consent is a clear agreement and acknowledgement, not body language or what you perceive.
And lastly, younger people are a very nuanced topic. We believe they do have the ability to consent, but that in the current state of the world, it is often unsafe. You can learn more about that in our article about contact between someone and their object of attraction.
Total bodily autonomy
Bodily autonomy is defined as the right to make decisions about your own body, life and future, without coercion or violence. When we say total bodily autonomy, it isn't trivial. In today's world, abortion access and rights are threatened more and more, women are still subject to genitalia mutilation at a very young age in multiple countries, and trans people need to jump through hoops to get gender affirming care. But to us, it doesn't stop there. We want to fight so that everyone has the right to make informed choices on what they do with their body and life, whether that's extreme body modification, gender affirming care, abortion, or just a tattoo.
Anti-psychiatry
Anti-psychiatry is the view that psychiatric treatment can often be more damaging than helpful. Do not the often in the above sentence. So, what does that mean in practise? A few things.
Psychiatric care should be entirely optional. Whether you want to recover with psychiatric help, by yourself or even not al all, you should be given all the necessary information to make that choice for yourself. This ties back in with the last point, total bodily autonomy, and with the next one.
Chosen Recovery
We've spoken about informed total bodily autonomy and what that would mean in psychiatry: the option to seek recovery or not. Here, we are extending this beyond psychiatry. We believe that no matter what you might have that could be recovered from, you should get to choose whether you want to or not. First, we believe that that is your right, and second, we are horrifically aware of the fail rates of forcing someone into recovery: as a general rule of thumb, if someone doesn't want recovery, they won't recover, no matter what you try. That doesn't mean you can't bring the option to their attention, just that ultimately, it is their choice, and theirs alone.
Transhumanism
Following up on all the bodily autonomy related beliefs, we have transhumanism. It is a movement that advocates the enhancements of the human body and condition by developing and making widely available new and future technologies that can greatly enhance longevity, cognition, and well-being. That would include wing or animal ears implants for transspecies folks, to only cite one of many examples.
Realmism
Realmism is an ideology based around the belief in magic and the multiverse. It promotes all faiths and religions, as well as the practise of reality shifting and the right to outlandish, weird, and uncommon beliefs, with an emphasis on being pro-delusion. If you wish to learn more, the entry on transid.org goes into more details.
Existentialism
Existentialism is the philosophical belief we are each responsible for creating purpose or meaning in our own lives. It isn't given to us by an authority. Whether you choose to seek it in faith, the arts, social causes or just your own happiness, it is entirely yours to craft.
Pacifism
Pacifism is a commitment to peace and an oppositioin to violence, war in particular. The quidditism movement believes that unless strictly necessary, violence should never be used, defining it as a last resort. How do we achieve our goals then? Educating.
Punk
Quidditism follows a very punk-ish ethos. The punk ethos is primarily made up of beliefs such as non-conformity, anti-capitalism, anti-authoritarianism, anti-corporatism, a do-it-yourself ethic, anti-consumerist, anti-greed, direct action, and not selling out".
