😭 how do polyminds have any valid argument show me a study with the word ‘polymind’ in it that isnt a carrd or a tumblr post

mfs when a NONMEDICAL IDENTITY doesn’t have MEDICAL RESOURCES: 😱😱😱

Using your logic literally 99% of identity labels aren’t valid either you fucking moron

Yeah guys, sorry! There’s no medical articles about puppygender, so you guys aren’t valid! Ohhh yeah and there’s no studies about fictionhearted… guess they don’t exist either!

Sorry, I don’t make the rules, this random cunt hiding behind an anon does! /sar

i frequently hear from anti-polyminds (and similarly anti-IFS) something along the lines of “it’s harmful to identify your subpersonalities without a therapist in front of you”. but there is no evidence of this; this is a rumour that anti-polyminds made up and continue to spread simply to bash on polyminds and IFS.

in fact, Dr. Richard Schwartz, the creator of IFS, has said himself that IFS is “something you can do on a daily, moment-to-moment basis—at any time, by yourself or with others”. IFS is fine to practice without a therapist, and not everyone has the means to get therapy in the first place.

I feel like a lot of polymind hates stems from the fact people are just refusing to actually listen, they stubbornly decided they hate it and are too prideful to admit they may have been wrong

"They steal from systems!" polymindence is not and never was based off alters.

"They wanna be systems!" polyminds explicitly say they're not systems.

"They're endos!" trauma based polyminds exist and polyminds aren't systems, so they can't be endogenic in the first place.

"It's harmful!" distinguishing your parts is not necessarily harmful, this heavily depends on the circumstances. plus if we're gonna say that distinguishing your parts is always bad, then all systems are harmful.

To be honest, saying "polyminds are just endogenics with extra steps" is kind of embarrassing. You're literally admitting to having no clue why you hate endos, and/or admitting you have no clue what polyminds are. ANY amount of research would prove they aren't the same, and the fact that its obvious you didn't do that research, is pretty laughable. Do some self reflection instead of following the next tiktok hate trend.

i think the main amusement of people being mad over "fictling" sounding like "fictive" is like.

first off fictive isn't "your word", the correct medical terminology is fictional introject.

second off, the "fict" part comes from FICTION. like FICTIONAL. like the WORD THAT MEANS MADE UP CONCEPT. are you gonna get mad that people say FICTION next? what about FICTIONKIN? FICTKIN RING A BELL? you don't get to claim the "fict" part because IT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE AT ALL.

Pretty please

Don't use polymind tags on posts not related to polymindence (eg. on system posts). I'd say the polymind safe and pro polymind tags would be okay for that but other than those tags, using the other polymind tags on a post about being a system can perpetuate the misinformed belief that polymindence has something to do with being a system or that it is an endogenic system term/origin. It isn't, it has nothing to do with being a system (although you can be a system and have polymind alters from what I've seen).

TLDR: Being polymind has nothing to do with traumagenic or endogenic systems, so please don't use the polymind tags in posts not relating to polymindence.

(adding endo system tag purely for reach as it is a tag I see commonly used on posts misusing polymind tags, I am NOT a system and have never claimed to be one.) (I also do not engage in or comment on syscourse as I am not a system and do not have the knowledge to and don't deem it appropriate that I as a non system comment on the validity of different system types.)

People have the right to defend themselves when you are spreading full blown misinformation about their kind regardless of what your DNI says.

It's manic how people with no DNI's (Normal fucking people) get ridiculed for not picking a side just for being open-minded, a lot of you are assholes, actually

[syscourse01]

I feel like a lot of anti-endos forget WHY endos are bad in the first place.

Yes, DID and OSDD are trauma disorders and you cannot form the disorder without them. But alters are not the entire scope of the disorder.

I'm not going to dismiss someone's experiences if their saying they experience plurality/multiplicity but dont have DID/OSDD, thats not the problem, the problem is ableism.

Endo means endogenic DID. the term itself is ableist. they steal terms such as alter and split and system and fictive. they use terms like sysmed and traumascum. they advocate for the demedicalization of the disorder.

you know who doesnt do that? you know who stays in their community and uses their own terms? fucking. polyminds.

so if your gonna hate on non traumagenic plurality just because i mean go ahead i guess. idk
