BEFORE YOU FOLLOW: this is more of a warning of who we'll block than a DNI, but it stands!
Note: we do not take part in shipping discourse on this account or any other account. Note is for those who want to know before interacting.
We are not open to discussing our trauma or diagnosis, thank you :)
We are trans. If you are against transfolk, leave us alone. TRANS MEN ARE MEN. TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN. NONBINARY PEOPLE DONT OWE YOU ANDROGYNY OR A MASC/ FEM PRESENTATION. TRANSPHOBIA EXISTS AND IS A REAL, SERIOUS PROBLEM. IF YOU DONT BELIEVE TRANS PEOPLE EXIST, OR HATE US, I HOPE YOU FEEL AS SHITTY AS YOU ACT.
We believe that Asexuality is inherently queer.
We are ANTI ZIONIST. WE BELIEVE PALESTINE IS UNDERGOING A GENOCIDE AT THE HANDS OF ISRAEL.
That being said, antisemitic folk, FUCK OFF.
Its not our place to tell you you don't exist as a system, so We Don't Want Syscourse on this account. We are neutral on it, please don't bring it up ACTUALLY FUCK IT, WE ARE PRO ENDOGENIC
We are not open to discussing our stance on proship or comship. We do have an opinion but this is not the place for it, so don't ask!
We don't understand most transID and don't know enough to have a fully formed opinion. We do support transspecies folk and if you want to teach us we're open to listening.
We are strictly anti-contact for "harmful" paraphilias. It boils down to "if you can hurt someone via the actions you would take to fulfill the urges caused by the paraphilia, do not do them. Doing them is wrong. Experiencing the thoughts and attraction is not."
and not in the way of wanting more people to have a dissociative disorder, but in the way of plurality being more accepted and known about.
and not just traumagenic plurality; all types of plurality.
everyone deserves a safe place to be themselves, which includes plurals of all kinds, no matter the origin.
we've known about our system for over 5 years now, and we've only managed to muster the courage to tell 2 people in our life about our plurality. we'd like it to be more, but we don't out of fear. fear of more abuse, fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, etc. Those fears are such common experiences throughout the system community that it's become a known problem, but by working to make the sigma around plurality disappear, we get closer and closer each day to a plural future. ā”
Hi! If itās not too much trouble Iād love some Carnevale stamps/blinkies/web graphics! No worries if not I know youāre probably swamped with rn !! ^^;
some thoughts and experiences . advice is not bad to share , but definitely start to fall short once reach certain point , or even at smaller sizes if structure differently .
If they're allowed to be "aggressively anti endo" I'm gonna be aggressively pro endo lol. I love you Endos and Willos please keep on living, you are incredibly vital to our community and deserve acceptance and support. Never let assholes and imbeciles dull your spark or make you doubt your identity, you're as real as any of us and deserve to take space <3 This community is as much for you as it is for any of us <3
Here is a list of all my Casual Explanations about DID/OSDD. Please note that these are specific to the experiences of DID/OSDD and should not be attributed to anything else.
My casual explanations are a combination of academic research, personal experience, and community feedback. I am not a professional. Iām simply a person with dissociated parts, one of whom enjoys doing research. A lot.
If you would like to repost my work elsewhere, please include a link back to this post so others can see my sources!

āSubstitute beliefsā is an umbrella concept that can be applied to understanding introjects (fictional and real-life), pseudomemories, non-human alters, and more.
Itās important to note that not all substitute beliefs are harmfulāthey may be comforting, or even feel empowering. You donāt necessarily have to stop being a ghost! That said, it may be worth mentioning in therapy to make sure itās a healthy belief to engage with.

Back when we were in the behavioral health hospital we were told we should go to a residential facility. It was all set up but our mom convinced us to not go through with it, and since it was voluntary it was our choice. Insurance would've covered up to 6 months in residential. We could've gotten the help we need.
I need someone to see how sick we are and take pity. I need someone to look at me and say I belong locked away. I need my doctors to listen to me. Im losing my mind. Im going to die if i keep down this path.
