Some context on why "the future is plural" is taken so negatively. It was originally coined by user sophieinwonderland who is known for leaning into anti endos worst assumptions (as well as long list of messed up things she's done, but I digress). She has stated that for her "the future is plural" means more systems (presumably by exposure to tulpamancy and willogenic resources). From an anti endo perspective, this insistence on creating more systems would be a push to traumatize more children.

‘the future is plural’ was not ‘coined’ by this person — ‘the future is [X]’ is a phrase that has existed for a really long time. this person is just an account on here that committed to using this phrase for plurality and pushing it. they did not ‘coin’ anything, and do not have monopoly over purpose or meaning of this phrase.

and even then — if her definition is ‘more systems’ and she’s pro-endo, she is not saying she wants more children to be abused. that conclusion literally only comes from deliberately misinterpreting what she means so you can push the idea that endogenic systems don’t exist.

you even acknowledge that this is presumed to be through things like tulpamancy/willomancy, which already shows it’s not being framed as trauma-based in the first place. so acting like it secretly means ‘let’s traumatise more children into dissociative fragmentation of self identity’ is so disingenuous.

if you accept that endogenic systems do exist, then ‘more systems’ does not equal ‘more trauma.’ there is no abuse in the mix. you only get to that conclusion by ignoring the premise entirely and replacing it with your own. which is a point i made directly in my original post.

for. for your 'the future is plural post' from the perspective of a singlet who just so happens to have a bunch of plural friends and a plural queerplatonic partner (i knew one person as plural originally everyone else was prediscovery including my partner)

all systems I know seem to be doing happier post discovery and once theyre able to show theyre plural. like. my partners, the host has gotten a lot better since learning shes more than one and is then able to lean on other for help, i make sure to be kind and help anyone new who splits. like. they still struggle with everyday thigns n depression n stuff but thats both not linked to plurality and existed before discovery. my friends who found out theyre olural have also been doing better since, ive spoken to some of their alters and its like. nice to be able to talk to everyone for who they are.

and from my point of view THATS the plural future people mean. not like. 'oooh lets abuse children' its like. oh plurality n did and other systems are not evil and dont have 'evil alters' and that introducing yourself to someone might be 'hi, im [name] from [name] system, its nice to meet you!' without anyone giving you a dirty look. and i like that future!! i want that future for my friends and partners! and selfishly I'd also benefit from that future!! i could say 'im [name], my partners are all a part of [name] system!' without someone trying to tell me 'so you just have one partner then. because one body=one partner', i know i could say partners without needing to fear clarifying could equal danger for my partners! i could say partners instead of partner!! and maybe thats a bit selfish but also everyone is a bit selfish. idk

anyone whos misinterpreting your post has to be doing it maliciously if even singlets can see what you mean better than them lmao

this, this, this!

why would advocating for more inclusivity, understanding, and practical support for people who function as plural be harmful?

to interpret something like ‘the future is plural’ as promoting trauma requires starting from a deeply biased position. you have to already assume the worst possible intent and then work backwards from there. no one reacts this way when people say ‘the future is queer’ or ‘the future is female’ — except people who are already committed to viewing it as something wrong or threatening (bigots).

choosing to interpret it as endorsing harm against children isn’t a misunderstanding - it’s purposefully bad faith, and often just thinly veiled bigotry. it’s twisting someone’s words into something harmful so you don’t have to confront what they actually mean.

i’ve honestly never seen another system who fits the exact ‘golden standard’ of what a system should look like from a clinician’s POV other than myself. i didn’t choose to be like this. it just happened. i wish people understood that no one chooses how their system functions

and that’s such a major issue in this community, in my opinion. no two people’s brains function the same way; neurofunction is inherently individual. across most conditions, there’s room for difference, people aren’t expected to match all symptoms 1:1 to be taken seriously, let alone to receive a diagnosis or support from a community.

but when it comes to DID, or even plurality in general, suddenly there’s this rigid expectation that everyone’s internal experience has to look identical to be considered valid. it makes no sense at all!? if human cognition is already diverse by default, why would systems be the one place where variation is treated as suspicious instead of expected?

especially when systems form under completely different conditions: different kinds of trauma, different environments, different developmental contexts. of course that’s going to shape how the system presents, how identities form, and how everything is experienced internally. it’s inherently going to be unique. expecting uniformity in something that is built out of highly individual circumstances just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how it works, in my opinion.

i want to do up our accounts again, something about this new aesthetic and layout just really isn’t us, we aren’t feeling it. it’s making us feel ‘fake,’ like performing? maybe it’s just that we have different alters fronting now, i don’t know, but it doesn’t feel right.

[thelasttreeline]

i want to be active on social media see but the problem is i already tell everything i could post to my two closest confidants. and then what am i left with to post?

our new bed comes soon! hopefully within the next few hours… excite excite excite

ok so i think we are getting pretty settled into this new place :) & sure we’ve been blurry but that’s because there’s nothing else to do but wait right now. it’s not entirely healthy but it’s what we know. we’ll be back on our feet in no time. it’s not the end.

THE TREELINE COVENANT; also know as THE COYOTE COLLECTIVE or ‘ HAUNTS ’

we are the treeline covenant — a highly dissociative polyfragmented / modular and traumagenic system, in a chronoadult disabled body.

please use it its pronouns when referring to us collectively. we will not often sign off or disclose who is fronting, and most likely will not know ourselves; however, we ask you treat us all as individuals.
