#plural rant

[femceladonite]

Just seen a guy laugh at how a 'fake' DID system "slipped up" and said "I" instead of "we" and my god does this only go to show that these fakeclaimers know NOTHING about us or our disorder and yet they think they know better than the literal people WITH the disorder.

Like I already knew this but seeing this guy act so smug about 'exposing a faker' with the most nothing burger evidence ever makes me want to commit homicide no joke. ^^

They try to act like they're helping DID systems by 'rooting out the fakers', but in reality they're merely trying to restrict disabled people's way of expressing themselves comfortably. They don't really see any of us as actual people and are just looking for yet another way to feel superior to and suppress disabled people in a less frowned upon way.

Fuck you if you force your alters to source separate

Fuck you if you fakeclaim others for being source connected

Fuck you if you don't respect fictives boundaries (be that "treat me like source" or "don't treat me like source")

Fuck you if you say being source connected "stops the healing process" (extra fuck you if you think that final fusion is the only way to heal)

Fuck you if you only let "non-problematic" fictives be source connected

Fuck you if you don't let others say they're uncomfortable with doubles/sourcemates/etc

Fuck you if you fakeclaim others for doing sourcecalls

Fuck you. Plainly, fuck you. If you met a fictkin and you weren't an antikin piece of shit you would be completely fine with a fictkin being who they are. But the second a system member if a fictional character? You go ape shit

You people are just ableist and hateful towards your own community so you can feel better about yourself. Do better

i really dislike the emphasis that anti-endos put on western psychiatric frameworks of plurality as if plurality hasn’t existed in different forms for thousands of years in different cultures like. why do we believe so strongly there is only one way to do things

secondly trusting crusty mostly white cishet men over my own community is not something i’m willing to do

Tell me I'm not the only one who finds it wildly odd that Simply Plural, an app known for being pro all plurality, is suggesting octocon, a known extremely sysmedicalist project. And one that has had issues with predators in the past.

And you can't say they're unawares, as when warned, the message was deleted and given a very passive aggressive "Don't start that here." Screenshot proof (though admittedly without the original warning message as they deleted it almost instantly) can be requested as I don't want to risk harassment.

While, yes, Octocon now claims they have "no stance on endogenics" the developer, Atlas, hasn't changed stances since the days the app and discord server were incredibly aggressive towards endos and would ban you for anything deemed such

does anyone else stay up late for freedom.

realized that we stay up late so we can work on our pluralspace and our writing and watching content we enjoy without getting caught or interrupted. the way our eyes automatically flicker to the door anytime a sound is made. the way our fingers rest over ctrl w or our mouse hovers over minimize window. how fast our reflexes are at minimizing discord and switch to a Safe Tab. i wish we could be more open with our parents. wish i could be doomscrolling through character fanart and not reflexively close the tab when I hear the door. watch a twitch stream with the chat open and not be worried they’d come in ask “what’re you watching? who is this? why are you in the chat? you’re on twitch?”. not have to worry about closing every tab, logging out of discord, and occasionally clearing history because what if she looks. be able to actually write our fanfic during the day without the fear they would burst into the room, and upon seeing us switch tabs, demand to see what we were doing.

I feel like the line between kins and alters in some plurals needs to be studied. It can vary and get confusing to know which is which. I feel like beings with a lot of kins or alterhuman identities should be able to consider themselves plurals just because of that, especially with kinshifts. Honestly anyone can be plural I just find that part fascinating.

plural mutuals please help . rant under cut about not being able to figure out if im plural. yes i know you cannot decide for me, and no pressure at all, i just would love some advice/sharing of your own experiences if youre comfortable!!

basicallly . queer identity-wise i can sort myself into multiple parts (currently guy 1 whos basically a nonbinary aro lesbian who uses it/rot/vamp/star, guy 2 whos the aroflux trans guy, guy 3 whos the aroace alterhuman boything but not a boy, and guy 4 who may or may not still be here whos a transmasc lesboy). but then i was like oh well thats kinda plural of me BUT

i dont have amnesia, i dont have different handwriting from day to day, guy 3's the main one with a different typing style, i dont hear voices, i dont hear/feel responses to thoughts or at least i dont think i do, and i dont have a headspace. can i be plural if its mostly just... slightly different guys who like slightly different things and act slightly differently? and dont talk to each other a lot?

SECOND PART TO THIS. i was doubting my plurality so i figured id make a "singlet-sona" and if i was a singlet itd actually just be me. i tried "ren, they/them" but then i added "fluidflux mspec aroaceflux" to account for how fluctuatig my identity is and then i Realized ... i DO have terms id use (transmasc! aroflux! lesboy! aroace! queer! lesbian! achillean!) but they dont always apply and sometimes contradict. and then i circled back to the sorting myself into parts thing. and then each label fit with a part .... so idk. im really doubting my plurality BUT also i cant singletify myself.

or maybe singlets just dont ?? know their identity?? or have multiple queer identity sets?? and im just one of those??

I hate how misunderstood osdd-1a is. I made a post a while ago talking about systemhood with a lack of amnesia barriers like osdd-1b and alters like osdd-1a, and so many ppl were like "so you mean a singlet" no that's actually not what I fucking said. Osdd-1a does not mean "doesnt have alters" it means theyre less elaborated or differentiated, like theyre all fragments or just different "versions" of the same identity, or maybe they all appear the same in headspace but use different labels and names. The best analogy I have for it is all those 2016 sans undertale AU ensembles and comics people would draw, theyre all the same person just different "versions". It doesn't matter if alters aren't that different from one another, if you still hear them in ur head and they still front then they are not just "mood states" like bpd or cptsd.

Osdd-1a systems are still SYSTEMS. They're still PLURAL. If they didn't have alters but still had amnesia barriers then thats not what a fucking system is, that would be diagnosed as dissociative amnesia (which yes, is a separate dx despite being a symptom of osddid!)

Sorry for the rant
