Hey To All My Fellow American Queers, If You Need Support Dont Be Afraid To Reach Out

fuck being a system im a sus-tem

To be systempunk is to be critical of misinformation even in our own community, so I'll post my own two cents: hot take that should be "hot" as lukewarm water, but sysmeds don't exist.

"Sysmeds" are just people with DID/OSDD. In order to develop DID/OSDD you need to have experienced repetitive childhood trauma while on a certain age rage, be predisposed to dissociation as a coping mechanism and on top of all of that to be disconnected (this term can mean emotionally and/or physically) from your primary caregivers. If you haven't met any of the many levels of those criterias and you still claim to be a system, then you are not. This is a traumagenic disorder that has many comorbidities with other disorders, such as C-PTSD.

I do not care one bit if this post will send so called mixed origins "systems" down a spiral, do us a favour and stop with the blatant bastardization of terms related to actual medical misinformation such as transmedicalism. - 🏹🌿

my favorite part of posting on here is that i get to have the anonymity of it

like on tiktok where i have 2500 followers i dont get to vent and post just little thoughts because i feel constantly seen

but here where i have like 40 smth followers and barely any of my posts get seen i have this feeling of being anonymous and just have the ability to express myself differently

The main things we’ve gotten from the DID/OSDD community’s reaction and responses to the first Moon Knight episode is:

Accurate representation does not always equal representation that improves the public’s view/reduces stigma

Dramatic, dark, and morally complicated characters and stories involving DID can be accurate/not improbable but still negatively influence public opinion. This does not inherently make them bad rep; the audience is just entirely wrong at this time for the story

Accurate/probable depiction of specific symptoms can be done, but they might not represent the majority (like the “surrender the body” bits. That sounds exactly like our gatekeeper when someone has a stranglehold on the front, and making sure someone is letting go on their own will maintain and build trust. This isn’t the norm per say but it’s far from impossible)

At this time, the general non informed public cannot be relied upon to be able to separate dramatized representations of symptoms and their more toned down, real life counterparts. Because of this, making sure symptoms are not dramatized unnecessarily is important, so people can learn to tell the difference

personally id rather not have control over perceived reality

idk that just seems like a lot more work than most people are worth

Remember, a narcissist's ultimate goal is total control over your perception of reality. Being around someone who has a vested interest in making you feel crazy will never be good for your mental health. Gaslighting is part of the abuse. Chronic gaslighting can cause psychosis.

so close to writing various crossover fanfics with the pitt

like genuinely fixating so hard, i am going to write so much and single handedly carve out a weird little niche of the pitt fanfics

like batman x the pitt crossover? fuck yes

avengers? spiderman? moon knight? absolutely happening

creepypasta/slenderverse? i have ideas

literally going to take my new favs and fuck them up big time

yo ok syscourse moment

you can be transfem in a female body and transmasc in a male body

fuck anybody that says different

friendly reminder RAMCOA is real and exists. there are plenty of systems out there who have suffered this abuse and live their lives with the consequences.

i just think people need to remember them sometimes because they deserve to be acknowledged and feel seen too.
