so fun fact about us

should we show them off on here?
Alright! So now that Moon Knight episode one is out Iβd like to talk about it!
So first off! I thought that it was actually incredibly well written and portrayed D.I.D. almost perfectly. It showcased a lot of the issues most of us deal with (the waking up somewhere else, the sleep issues in general, the paranoia, the awkwardness of not knowing whats going on so you cant tell people whats wrong and such, and the just general questioning of reality). It was honestly extremely similar for us when we first started discovering the system and stuff.
So yea! I definitely liked it and am really excited to see where the rest of it goes!
But! Iβve already seen some posts and stuff about Steven and I want you all to remember that Steven is a grown man. While yes he may be confused and not know whatβs going on do not treat him like some poor thing that needs to be protected at all costs. Heβs just trying to live his life while slowly discovering the other alters in the system!
I would also like to mention please please please donβt refer to the alters as personalities! Personalities is a term originating from when D.I.D. used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. The name for the disorder was changed because of new research and the fact that we are not personalities!!! Alters are their own people and you should not refer to them as personalities!!!
Steven: We should get a pet spider.
Marc: You get a spider and Iβll fucking burn the apartment down.
Steven: Thatβs a little excessive, donβt you think?
Marc: Youβre right. I wouldnβt. Jake would. He hates anything that crawls.

why tf do endos treat being a system like its an identity that you can pick and choose to label? why do they constantly push the transphobic rhetoric of using "traumascum" to refer to traumatized individuals that just dont want people to treat their symptoms like its fun?
being plural/being a system is nothing like being lgbtq+ and i really think we need to stop treating it as such
yes we are a community, but this community is one formed on the basis of being traumatized as kids, its not based on something we choose to refer to ourselves as
we need to be there to support each other but not blindly. we need to help spread information to others with the symptoms so they can receive help.
you wouldnt treat people with personality disorders the way you treat systems so why is it acceptable to treat systems this way?
i think youre last sentence sort of summed up how we think about being plural and thats why we struggle with the idea of it being an identity on its own instead of being something that contributes to your identities.
like being multiple parts contributes to our gender identity 100% but its not its own identity seperate from that.
it also feels like saying it is is more of a way to describe it to singlets which would make sense. but i dont really enjoy having specific words and such that put us all into smaller categories so singlets can understand. its why we avoid using specific parts language outside of some of the therapy specific words.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It really is appreciated.

NPD culture is thinking you're better than people who are mean because I'm mean inside, I don't say it out loud, I'm smart enough to know better than to do that, I'm smart enough to know how to be mean but keep playing nice to keep their attention, I'm smart enough to know how to pretend to be a nice person
