Is the term "Endogenic" harmful?

Yes, always.

No, never.

Not as it is used currently, but it has been harmful in the past.

Sometimes as it is used currently, and it has been harmful in the past.

Context: There are numerous claims about the term Endogenic having been used in the past (particularly by Freud) to suggest that DID systems were simply faking their trauma, or that their trauma was caused by a therapist (part of Freud's Iatrogenic theory). If you've been in syscourse tags anytime this past week, you've seen the sources presented by @sysmedsaresexist and refuted by SophieinWonderland (whom I would tag, but for my mental health, I do have her blocked on this blog. She is one of the only blogs I have blocked on this side-blog.)

She requested individuals make their own, less biased form of the poll she presented, as she is a pro-endo who is blocked by the majority of anti-endos, and her poll will be heavily biased toward endogenic systems. As I am a syscourse poll making blog, and I've been wanting to try to get back to this, I figured this would be an opportune time to rejoin.

Please reblog for further spread!

general question on how people see this term

anti endo/endo critical and think endogenic = non-disordered

anti endo/endo critical and think endogenic ≠ non-disordered

pro endo/is endo and think endogenic = non-disordered

pro endo/is endo and think endogenic ≠ non-disordered

its complicated (tags or replies or whatever)

don't care

Putting a < at the beginning of text on a poll for one of the options makes it not properly count any votes for that option, but still shows results. You can use this to make a show results/this poll doesn’t apply to me but I want to see button that won’t affect the overall results of the poll.

This may only work on mobile though, I’ve only tested it on the iOS app.

Oh this is FANTASTIC news

Testing this here

Thank you

so much

I'm really curious, because a lot of the time, I find myself assuming that the majority (though certainly not all) of endogenic systems prefer People Based language over Parts Based language. I wonder how much this is the case?

Which type of language do you prefer to use for your system? (For ENDOGENIC Systems)

People Based Language (Treating headmates as individual, fully developed people)

Parts Based Language (Treating headmates as parts of one whole)

A combination of the two is preferred!

I don't use either of these (please elaborate, I'd love to know more!)

A system we know is running a survey about plurality. All questions are optional, and it's completely anonymous.

Just a quick warning: it briefly mentions fusion and final fusion, dormancy, splitting, and system denial, just asking you to define them in your own words and asking about your experiences with them. As with the rest of the questions, these are completely optional.

Please read each question carefully.

What is your headspace/inner world like? (just having different headspace areas or layers counts as one headspace)

We don't have one

We have one - it is simple

We have one - it is somewhat simple, somewhat complex

We have one - it is complex

We have multiple - they are all simple

We have multiple - some are simple, some are complex

Generally speaking, I find it a lot more offensive when like TV shows and movies have a shitty representation of dissociative disorders, but there's like two versions of that. There's stuff where a character has like ""alters"" or something that could in theory be comparable to an actual disorder, but in the story is explained as some fantasy concept. There's also when there is a really shitty depiction of DID and they mix the poor depiction with fantasy (sometimes) AND they fucking call it DID or an outdated term like MPD.

Anyways which do you find more offensive?

when they call it DID/OSDD/outdated terms

when it is kept as its own thing and actual disorder not mentioned

both are bad

neither bother me

i have a more interesting response for the tags

not a system but i want to press a button and see results
