this syscourse is pissing me off

ask me about my bomb ass opinions, sophie dni

[oopsallsyscourse]

anyway here’s my syscourse code for anyone who wants it

👍/ 💛/ 📘/ 🔸/ 🟣/ 🌑/ 🟨/ 🌳/ 🌦/ 🥧/ 🐊/ 🐌/ 🐬 🐠

[circular-bircular]

For those who can’t do the emojis:

Believes in endogenic plurals

Tulpas are cultural appropriation and should pick a new word

People sometimes misunderstand their identities, but that doesn’t mean everyone’s mistaken

Shared spaces are good but there should also be separate spaces

Endogenic plurality is not comparable to transX

You cannot have DID without trauma

Introjects can use closed culture names if given permission from a member of that culture

Self diagnosis is valid with research

Against the term sysmed

Against the term traumascum

Supportive of Endogenics using the term “system”

Supportive of Endogenics using the term “alter”

Doesn’t understand the purpose of xeno origins and has a complex opinion on them

[oopsallsyscourse]

Since we're doing sign offs now, here's some mini alter introduction. We have far more than just 5 alters but these are just the ones that run this blog.

Hal/Alex (he/they) - most pro endo leaning of the four. Very passionate about fictive culture and attitudes around persecutors. He also has a love of pokemon and can talk about it for hours. He's also responsible for the icon choice.

Peter (she/they) - more or less here for the ride. Likes calling people out on their bs and not much else. Listens to way too much Kesha.

Adam (he/him) - persecutor turned protector. Not super interested in syscourse but chimes in every once and a while about persecutor issues. He has a whole hilarious enemies to lovers story with our partner.

Jared (he/him) - runs @feast-of-tongues and probably the most syscourse enraged of all of us. Besides that, he has a love for music and fiber arts.

Day Eight: How did you first discover you were plural? Was it before, after, or during diagnosis?

A ex of mine suggested it. I disagreed with them at the time but thought having a system would benefit me. So I tried to make a willogenic alter and accidentally got in contact with what was at the time a very angry persecutor. Oops. After that, more alters began to surface.

I got my diagnosis a year or two later.

Let me say this more explicitly since people aren't getting it.

If you intentionally use the wrong name or pronouns for a trans person, you are being transphobic. This is true regardless if you think the person is a) a good person, b) worthy of your respect, or c) faking their identity.

Catherine: I'm leaving syscourse for good!

Also Catherine, regularly: People aren't talking about the thing anymore so it's time to break syscourse again!

[swarm-queen-cuatro]

I said I'd leave if you gaslighters kept my name out of it, and you gaslighters kept my name in it, repeatedly, for months.

I have explained repeatedly how I was involved from the beginning, but you keep ignoring it, because you're a gaslighting piece of shit.

[oopsallsyscourse]

Who did? Because I made one joke about the bots (these new syscourser would not survive the bots). Was that enough to get under your skin?

[oopsallsyscourse]

I just drafted the rest of the days but i'm realizing i should have done it in the reverse order...

[oopsallsyscourse]

Can I get the title of scroll king for this 😂

Day Seven: How many parts do you know of in the system? How many know about each other?

It's around 70 if we don't count dormancy which is pretty hard for us to calculate for. There is most definitely more in our old subsystem but we're not digging at the risk of finding some truly upsetting trauma that might have happened.

We all generally know who else exists (assuming they're on the same layer) but closeness varies heavily.

"the only valid form of pluralphobia is towards pwCDDs" that isn't how bigotry works. Whether or not I have a CDD if I tell someone that I share a body with a bunch of other people they're not going to stop to ask my diagnosis status before they call me a freak or crazy.

The ableism existed before the diagnosis did, gang. Ableism isn't strictly confined to the DSM, it's based on what society sees as 'crazy', which often has nothing to do with actual mental illness.

Everyone get more intersectional NOW

[oopsallsyscourse]

wtf how/what did u look up to see the littles post

these damn bots killed my ability to scroll further

how did that not happen to u

tell me ur secrets

these bots are pissing me offfff

I just scrolled really far. If you're not blocking the bots, the tag still works. It's just annoying to scroll through

[oopsallsyscourse]

I'm feeling a bit petty so...

Just remember everytime sophie, "swarm queen" catherine, or "sysmedsaresexist" dude use the name Dia over Sunny they are intentionally dead naming someone. Yes, they've been informed about this multiple times. They do not care.

[transcendentstoat]

I just saw someone say that there is too much "discrimination" against littles online.

What are littles? In dissociative disorders, they're a part stuck in a regressed state. They're not literally children, but they only exist because of something that is keeping them from maturing..

Saying they should not be in online spaces is not discrimination. They are vulnerable. Our therapist recommended none of our littles even front alone, because it is a dangerous situation for them to be in.

I understand other systems have lower amnesia barriers, so naturally smaller parts share an increased capacity to navigate the world.

The brain has still sectioned off a part of you for a reason, it's not discriminatory towards anyone to say that smaller parts need different treatment. It is actively harmful to spread the flat sentiment that they can consent just like adults

It's irresponsible at the very best to be posting in a clearly regressed state. You can have a journal

[oopsallsyscourse]

So little are not inherently more vulnerable than adult alters. The term you are looking for the describes a part suck in a regressed state is child part. Little just means a alter that identifies with a young age. As such, not all littles are vulnerable and not all little needs special treatment. Some still do but that should be up to the individual system to decide what's safe and what's not.

[oopsallsyscourse]

I'm at work currently so I can't add anyone to the thunderdome until I get home. I apologize for the inconvenience

[oopsallsyscourse]

Looks like someone is throwing another hissy fit.

Reminder that syscourse thunderdome is still operational if people actually want to do syscourse there.

[oopsallsyscourse]

Not doing the thing today. I'll be back tomorrow

Day Six: How do you feel about talking about the trauma which created your condition? Do you like to write about it privately or publicly? Why?

I'm an open book about my trauma as long as it's not in a place where the people harassing me and my friends can see. But if you manage to hit me up on discord or my non syscourse related blogs, I'll blabber on about that shit. Emotional amnesia allows me to communicate it unless I focus in on it too hard. I like writing about it cause it makes it less likely to become one of the things that my brain forgets. Sometimes, not knowing is worse than knowing something terrible happened.

Gonna ask my bias audience what I'm going to do after work

What should I do after work?

Play Virche Evermore

Answer some syscourse asks

Attempt to draw something for the new guy

Voting ended onMay 31

[oopsallsyscourse]

I think I'll draw tomorrow. I'm too tired to do anything on this list

Day Five: How often do you switch? How often do you lose time? Talk a little about what dissociation is like for you

It ranges a lot. At most, without any intentional switches, about 2-3 times a day. Sometimes, we can go whole weeks with little to no switching if things are going well. Typically though it's like once or twice a week for a few hours someone will kick the host to co con.

We don't often lose time because our host is almost always in co con to some extent. The only exceptions are big trauma times when it's a safety issue for him to be up front. We do have memory issues around trauma but that's closer to things being erased after the fact than a black out switch.

Dissociation is pretty weird for us. For me, I start feeling floaty and like I'm not actually where I am. Or I'll won't recognize where I am but only emotionally. Like logically, I know exactly where I am, but it feels wrong.
