To the hate anon, endos don’t claim did/OSDD but even if they did, those aren’t trauma disorders those are dissociative disorders, trauma is almost always the cause of these disorders, keyword *almost* always
I just woke up and this is a serious topic so please don't mind the lack of my "typing quirk" what with the written accent.
That is a really important thing to note, yeah. A majority of endos do not claim to have a dissociative disorder and call to other psychiatric phenomenon that, while not always widely known or established, are observably true. On top of that, a LOT of the good things systems have come from endogenics, endogenic supporters, and the skills and talents they possess and make available for all systems to use, things such as PluralKit and Simply Plural are crucial for over half a million systems nowadays and were made by people who support endos and have had contributors to their projects that are endogenic (to my understanding)
On top of this, anti-endos saying that endogenics, willogenics, neo-origin users, etc, are "making "real" systems look bad", is a classic talking point used by transgender medicalists who thought that things like neopronouns, people wearing dyed hair, flashy clothing, etc, made a trans person just a "faker". I'd know, our original(s) used to be like that. At the end of the day, continuing to attack and harrass each other other not "suffering enough" to really have our experiences is pointless, and you do not need to understand every single person's lived experience in order to respect them.
It is A-Okay if you truly cannot fathom the idea that a system can form from anything else than childhood trauma, but if you really do feel that way, stop and ask yourself, "Do I truly need to understand the rich internal experience of a complete stranger 100% and know what unspeakable things could or could not have happened to or around them as a child in order to respect them?"
No, you don't. It doesn't matter what you think is possible, what matters is how you treat the people around you. And right now, hate-anon, you are focusing on the wrong things.
