Hey is it okay if we get validation and positivity for endogenic systems specifically? Of both the disordered and non-disordered part of the disorder axes?
Not non-traumagenic. Not mixed origin. We mean ENDOGENIC. It's not that we hate the former two, but we despise when people are like "shoutout to endos!! Oh and also these other two things that are only adjacent and have a completely different meaning so we can show you we are in good faith!! And I'm going to throw ny own under the rug by pretending endos cannot have DID and ignore the earlier studies made by Ross!!" no bitch, stfu.

That sort of lip service sounds frustrating, I'm so sorry to hear that you don't hear a lot of specific endogenic positivity. Your frustration at people ignoring studies and especially endogenic systems' lived DID experiences, are valid. So I'll try my best to give you some!
Endogenic systems are an important part of the plural community. Your experiences are real and valid. Regardless of whether one's endogenic system was born or created, you are all experts of their own experiences. Your voices are valuable, and need and deserve to be listened to.
Endogenic systems are not making a mockery of plurality for existing and making their voice heard - you are not mocking plurality, you are plural. Thus, you all deserve space in system communities. You deserve wholehearted acceptance and respect.
Disordered endogenic systems should not have to pretend they're traumagenic or mixed origins for their disorder to be acknowledged. Systems can be disordered, or even have trauma, without it being their origins. DID/OSDD/UDD is not owned by a subset of plurality, all systems can have dissociative disorders, and all endogenics with a disorder deserve to have resources and space to talk about your disorder, to cope with it. You also deserve medical professionals who don't force you into boxes. You are not "stealing resources" for needing help.
Non-disordered endogenic systems deserve to be respected and given space. You're not "stealing resources" for hanging out in plural communities at large. Your experiences are real, and good, and you don't have to perform suffering for your experiences to matter. You don't have to be 100% happy all the time with plurality either. You can just exist and deserve to exist in peace.
Endogenic systems don't deserve harassment, fakeclaiming, and all other kinds of abuse. Endogenic systems are allowed to struggle with plurality related things, and their struggle doesn't invalidate their origins. Endogenic systems should have studies about them be read and understood by other types of systems too, not just be thrown away and ignored.
Remember, endogenic systems, you don't need to earn your existence or your place in the plural community. Those who think you should can fuck off.
