Ok gonna be real here

Gonna lay it out here

Just want it to be known and I will probably add it to my about post

But all I gotta say is. Dude. Looking at someone's trauma response (forming a system) and going 'hey i think thats pretty spiffy let me just *forms a system and begins using all the terms for it*

And then on top of that recycling terms like 'transmed' and truscum' (sysmed and traumascum) to fling the implication that we're basically evil bastard people around because we're rightfully bothered that you're doing this???

How can I explain it to you, that is disrespectful ok? That's like taking the fucking handicap parking spot because you want the perk of being closer to the store (and no I do NOT mean people who are actually disabled even when it's not visually apparent I just mean literal assholes)

And before you argue that it's not the same because it's not taking physical resources- it kind of is. By using the same terms you're existing in the same spaces and muddying the waters

People who are actually traumagenic and trying to learn more are going to get mixed messages on what they need, what they should do, what's common for the brain and what's not if people who aren't coming from a place of trauma are putting their two cents in, it's that simple! Honestly speaking I wonder how you guys know that some of you AREN'T traumagenic, because part of the purpose of a system is to hide the trauma from yourself! If someone didn't know they had trauma and labeled themselves endogenic, there's a good chance they aren't going to find therapy for themselves and nothing's going to work because they're going to pass off their plurality as just 'something their brain did to amuse itself' or whatever the usual motivation is behind it. That's not healthy for them!

You wanna have multiple people in your head? Fuckin fine I can't stop you! But for the love of god can you please just form your own separate terms and communities please?

Another good example I saw a while back was written by another user here and idr if I reblogged it but it basically summed it up as; you and I could both have a cough, but one of us is coughing due to a minor cold while the other has something more severe like bronchitis.

The human brain naturally predisposes itself to at least minor dissociation. It has to, if you didn't there's a good chance in a time of life-threatening crisis you'd freeze up. So I'm not gonna say it's impossible. But following the cough analogy, you're trying to claim you're like people with asthma just because you have a minor allergic reaction to dust. That's not the same thing at all. Please don't try to act like it is and enter our tags and use our language and get offended when we tell you otherwise. We're literally traumatized people, for fucks sake quit bullying us by trying to equate us to transmed/truscum in our own space.

(Edit: post has been since edited a couple times, originally I facetiously applied the terms to myself because "oooh im so big and bad and scary for having a brain" evidently but someone pointed out it's definitely gonna derail the conversation to have that in the beginning so I removed it.)

#ramblingonandon #actuallyplural #actuallymultiple #beatboxes #actuallyosdd #this rant brought to you by the discovery of a system help blog thats anti symed or whatever #like. seriously guys have you actually thought about this or do you just jump on the bandwagon #long post #osdd #did #traumagenic system #actually traumagenic #endogenic #ask to tag #osddave

Can't believe we used to fight over blog theme and colors and thought that was 'just kin shift things' jfc

#wwas thinkin about how wwe'd like to change it up around here and remembered that #terezi especially was bad for that #i think she did it a couple times #yknoww theres posts somewwhere hidden here documenting that... wwild #ramblingonandon #glubs #osddave

Is it that I have fictives of my ocs or my ocs were caricatures of my alters of that time: a novel by me

Hey systems uh

Friendly reminder to not claim you have 'seizures' as a cover story when caught dissociating or switching out if you do not actually experience seizures, that's fucked up wth.

If you get pissed about endogenic/non-traumagenic people taking system terms then hopefully you already can follow this reasoning but basically don't do that what the shit

#a fellow system i know is on a fb board arguing w imbeciles on this #originally it was just meant to be informative but people are ARGUING w them despite their own exp w epilepsy #jfc people #what is wrong with some of you #and no being traumatized does not excuse this #actuallyplural #actuallyosdd #actuallydid #actuallymultiple #ramblingonandon #osddave

My dad: hey, can you make sure to start saving up your money going forward?

Me, shoveling toys and stickers for my littles into the cart: yeah uh-huh absolutely sure thing

#snitches dont interact /j #this is fine #osdd #did #little alter #systems #ramblingonandon #osddave #ok to reblog #encouraged even

Am I the only one who finds it a little odd that people say alters supposedly can't help how they look...?

Like maybe it's because mine are very heavily fictive-oriented, or because I have such poor visual memory they don't have anything solid to adhere to, or even because I'm more likely an osdd system and not a did one, but we don't have a lot of issue changing our appearances to an extent, depending on whether it's a fictional avatar or more than that. I know of another system personally whose alters will also change at least hairstyles.

Not to mention age sliding visually like.... idk, it's possible not all systems can do even changes like these, and each system is different but. Are we as a community sure we're not getting mixed up between 'alters can't choose how they start as' with 'alters can't change their appearance or presentation ever'? Or at the very least using one as a blanket statement when that's not necessarily the case for every system?

#asking esp bc I know theres an issue w people claiming alters out of race and just 'cant help being a system!!1!'#and maybe we're just bitter bc Mimi is tired of feeling unwelcome and she's putting the effort into trying to find a new presentation #but other systems will just point blank say 'oh you cant change how an alter looks theyre stuck like that'#so she's salty bc she's wondering if the alters actually try or if they just use it as an excuse while we're asking her to do her best #admittedly we're not coming from a place of faith in good intentions here but #how many systems have actually tried before they said it wasnt possible? 🤔#ramblingonandon #osddave #actuallyosdd #actuallyplural #osdd #did #watch i get egg on my face for this but like. I think someone in the community needs to ask the question if they havent already #ask to tag

Ok so uh shit has been developing and as it turns out

Houston, we have a system

(It's me. I'm the system)

#well us but you get the idea #didnt want it confusing to the reader so #ramblingonandon #osddave
