#non-disordered plurality

[mettleplex]

Plurality is culture.

"Fake-claiming" plurals who are unassociated with medical diagnoses won't help people with CDDs.

If you think plurality and structural dissociation are the same, that is a problem.

If you want to help: explain to others that dissociative disorders are not cultural.

non-disordered traumagenic systems?

we’re looking for other non-disordered traumagenic systems to talk to and maybe join a discord server with?

while we love and respect both endogenic and disordered systems, it’d be nice to talk to other people who have symptoms of did/osdd but don’t experience distress because of it, or who were disordered and have healed, or aren’t interested in a diagnosis for whatever reason, or experience traumagenic multiplicity that don’t qualify for did/osdd, or anything

i feel like we’re kinda overlooked in a lot of things, and it’s assumed that non-disordered = endogenic and that’s not really true?

Note: this poll is just curiosity on our part and is not meant to "out" anyone or anything. Only answer if you feel comfortable doing so.

Additionally, for the purposes of this poll, anyone who calls themselves a protector and/or persecutor would indeed count as a protector and/or persecutor, regardless of how they line up with "traditional" protector/persecutor roles.

Do you have any protectors and/or persecutors?

Yes, we have one or more protectors

Yes, we have one or more persecutors

Yes, we have both

No

It's complicated (feel free to elaborate in comments if comfortable)

DID Myths and Misconceptions — Beauty After Bruises

DID MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS     Dissociative Identity Disorder is by far one of the least understood mental illnesses out the

Plurality is not inherently medical. DID and OSDD systems deserve their own space, it's true, but things related to being a system are things almost every system has in common. Being plural is not a disorder or disease unless you make it one, and all systems with all origins and diagnosises deserve to share plural spaces.
