Jackalope

A role for headmates who hold distrust or are more distrustful of people outside of their own collective. They may be more skeptical, paranoid, or simply just don't trust others as much. Also could be known as "Skeptic" for those who do not want an animal-related name.

Dissociapunk

A punk term/tag/subculture made to further push the acceptance of those with dissociative disorders, and to rectify both the demonization and the demedicalization of these disorders.

This term is not intended to be entirely exclusive to those with complex dissociative disorders. Individuals who have other dissociative disorders such as DPDR, dissociative amnesia, UDD, non-alter based OSDD presentations, and allies to the community are encouraged to use and identify with this term as well.

THIS TERM IS vehemently against any and all forms of ableism, and the demonization and demedicalization of disorders/disabilities. It is for the push towards an accessible future for all. It is pro-recovery, pro-self diagnosis, and psych critical due to the long history that the psychiatric community has with dissociative disorders.

THIS TERM IS NOT pro endogenic/any form of nontraumagenic systems, as it was made with the intent to have a punk term and tag seperate from endogenic communities, so I politely ask that (pro) endos do not use this term. This term also does not encourage other harmful language such as cluster b abuse terms, I.e. “narcissistic abuse”, or terms such as the “evil alter” (when used by someone without a dissociative disorder and without the intent to reclaim it).

Colour meanings:

Red: The anger and hurt that comes with being consistently demonized, ostracized, and misunderstood for having a dissociative disorder

Black: BIPOC with dissociative disorders that have been dismissed and mistreated by the psychiatric community due to their race and skin colour

Dark static blue: Dissociation

Light blue: Integration and cooperation of alters in complex dissociative disorders

Yellow: Healing and trauma recovery

I consent to this term being archived and to others making alternative flags.

I do NOT consent to this term being recoined or reclaimed by (pro) nontraumagenic systems. This is not a term for you.

Locked and Loaded / LaL System - A term for systems that lack the "cluelessness" when it comes to new headmates.

This means when new headmates are split and/or formed (or other terms) they're already aware of the situation and able to inherently adapt without assistance - whether it be external or internal help - of any sort.

New headmates may actually benefit more from the lack of help, as it helps them build individuality without the possibility of blending, bleedover and/or passive influence warping perspective and allows the solid identification of self-identity.

I think there's such a weird expectation of systems that you should be distressed when you're someone new to a system, and we just, don't experience that distress. We might be a little confused, but we still understand, and know, and are able to get by without help (help in which we don't want).
