Honestly I think we should call sysmeds something else (like syskeepers, syswalls, something to make it clear still that they exclude and/or deny the existence of different kinds of systems) and here is why
The "med" in sysmed stands for "medical." I know it was used to show the similarities between transmeds and exclusionary systems, but they are separate issues with separate problems (the problem with transmedicalism is that they treat transness as inherently medical/disordered. With systems, they ARE medical/disordered by nature, no matter what caused the system to form, so this just makes the term "sysmed" redundant and confusing. The problem with sysmeds is ableism and denying other systems the right to call ourselves systems and enter plural safe spaces)
Comparing the issue to transmedicalism, while the exlusionary mindsets are similar, can be triggering for some trans people, even those who are against exclusionism
It can confuse people who are new to the discourse/argument, and frankly I think it wouldn't be hard to make it more clear
Exclusionary systems are not good, obviously, but their comfort and triggers matter just as much as ours. We can call them exclusionary without calling them something harmful to do it, especially if it can harm people uninvolved with the discourse as well (ie trans people)
Sysmed tucutes/mogai/radinclus exist
To add to the above point, seeing words similar to "transmed" is sometimes triggering for those of us who are tucute/mogai/radinclus, or can bring up bad memories relating to to what we've had to ho through due to transmedicalism
There's probably stuff I'm not thinking about too
TLDR: Sysmed as a term is inaccurate and confusing, so we should call them something else instead. Syskeepers, syswalls, Solesystems, etc might work better since they clarify that the problem is exclusion and denial of other systems existing, not of medicalizing a disorder/illness. I'm open to other suggestions for new labels to call them!
(Note: I come from a mixed-origin system, am very endo-friendly, and am tulpa-neutral [as I don't know much about tulpa stuff or thoughtform]. I am open to friendly, civil discussion from those who are NOT sysmeds, if they have suggestions or disagree with something I said)
