I think it's a really bad faith reading into what we said to think we're being a pick me kind of person in our initial post about how trauma severity doesn't correlate to which kind of structural dissociation you end up with. We're not trying to put ourselves above anyone else (seriously puzzling how THAT can be read out of what we wrote) and we're definitely not putting anyone else down.

Having more or worse trauma makes you neither better nor lesser than someone with less trauma and vice versa.

The ONLY thing having it does is it helps you understand what it's like to have trauma. And having a wide range of different kinds of trauma of varying severity helps you understand a wide range of trauma with varying levels of severity. That's it. It's easier to understand what you've been through. That's just how humans work. No matter how empathetic you are, no matter how educated, there's a level of understanding that comes from experiencing something yourself.

And we'll be the first to admit that there's a lot we don't understand about CDDs. Because we don't have one.

But we do understand trauma, based on a combination of education and our own experiences.

And because of that experience, and from education both academic research and from talking to other traumatized people, we know for certain that levels of trauma severity doesn't equate to level of structural dissociation.

And THAT'S the point we're trying very hard to make. A point we're trying to explain, with ourselves as an example to illustrate it.

If you have an issue with that point, feel free to respond or send an ask.

If you have an issue with us talking about different levels of severity? Go ahead, complain on your own blogs about it. But we're done with that part of the conversation and won't be answering any further asks about it.

Sophie posted a thing about us having headmates who are Christian and what we believe happens to us when we die.

The answer is simple. We don't believe in hell. We believe when Jesus rose from the dead, the place he'd been for those three days was emptied out permanently. And it wasn't hell, it was basically a waiting place.

We grew up fundamentalist, with the whole "you must believe or you're going to hell" thing. This made it scary to question or doubt, which we believe is important for a strong faith: faith MUST be able to withstand doubt and questions or it's flimsy.

And it pushed apologetics and proselytizing and trying to "save" other people.

We view that kind of mindset as toxic now.

We also understand the modern view of hell as being VERY Greek in origin, and not based in what Jesus taught.

No I'm not going to debate this, if you want to know more there's plenty of progressive Christian writings on this you can look up.

But the point is, we think everyone is going to heaven.

Yes, including Sophie.

It really is that simple.

The Dia situation taught me that people will disagree with something, even if they secretly agree with the point, if they dislike the person saying it enough

I wouldn't trust that poll, js

Everyone is so fucking two faced, I should post the fucking screenshots

I'm so glad to be rid of all you, you deserve each other

Oh, wow, there's performative victimhood in action

Stfu, literally playing trauma Olympics with people who disagree with you

Remember when I said, "CC always has the same experience but worse, so they get it, but it's not that way for them, so argument destroyed 😎 "

Literally you're over there like,

"I am THE MOST TRAUMATIZED, every type of abuse and trauma, ALL OF THEM, the worst of the worst, definitely at least as many as you, almost probably even the most traumatized endogenic, but i am the exception to every rule and demand the spotlight to talk about it in every conversation I have"

No you're a fucking Mary Sue who can't stop talking about themselves to the point it annoys people

Sometimes you go past relatability and into "pick me" territory and it's not even subtle anymore, no one actually believes you don't have a CDD, literally everyone thinks you have one and is waiting for you to realize it, and FYI, that kind of pick me behavior is often rooted in trauma itself
