it wasn't your fault btw. you were a kid. idk what you expect you could've done differently

edit: guys please stop trauma dumping in my replies

do not post your triggers, cues, programs, any of that shit on tumblr dot com. point blank period. do not just hand that info to people who may want to hurt you.

i am not saying this to fearmonger. don't put that shit on a public blog.

hey reminder that switching looks different for everyone, and you have zero fucking right to tell people that they're making their system up for their switches looking differently to yours.

some people zone out and stare into the void.

some people have the head drop

some people have barely noticeable switches

some people have switches that takes ages

most people have a mix of switches.

if you aren't a person's doctor, you have zero right to tell them they're "switching incorrectly." wtf even is that.

remember, folks. it's what was traumatic to a child without proper support. not what would be traumatic to a grown ass adult with coping skills.

"antis invade OUR plural tags all the time" WHY ARE YOU IN THE OSDDID TAG???? WHY???

you can't even argue that it's just a "plural" tag??? ITS THE TAG WITH THE NAME OF THE CDDS IN IT???

i don't wanna see anyone ever say "endos don't invade CDD spaces" bc tell me why yall are in the tag specifically for the disorders (don't actually. i don't care about your opinions 💕)

(🐇 and 🍓 but mostly 🐇)

this is just a reminder that if any of u bring pro-endo bullshit to our blog u are not entitled to a kind and diplomatic response. hope this helps. some of y'all are wayyyy too comfy expecting ppl to coddle you on the internet.

i do not CARE if you also have a CDD. i think you're a DUMBASS. feel free to cry about it!
