"Stop calling sysmeds sysmeds because it makes sysmeds uncomfortable."
Your mistake is thinking I care about your comfort. You are pushing a hate-based ideology defined by being against my existence. It makes you uncomfortable because you can't stand people pointing out the similarities between your ideology and that of transmeds.
You are the worst kind of hypocrites. You have built an ideology founded on disrespecting others. Then you demand the victims of your hate respect you... by not calling out the harm your hate causes.
Not everyone is entitled to respect. Some actions and ideologies are inherently disrespectful, and waive the responsibility of others to treat you with kindness.
If you are a sysmed, your ideology is just like transmeds. I am aware that this truth will hurt you. But you don't care about the pain your hate group causes, so I won't care about the pain I cause to you and your friends.
We are not going to avoid calling bigots bigots because it hurts the feelings of bigots when you point out their bigotry.
I keep seeing "transotherkin" flag creation posts in the otherkin tag recently, and I just - takes your hands gently in mine. You are already otherkin. I don't know how to say this more gently, but - regardless of your feelings on other transx/transID identities and how well they are or aren't handled, transotherkin is a word that does not make any sense basically no matter which way you slice it. It's like saying you're transtransgender. It's already an internal identity determined entirely by your feelings and how you see yourself. If you want to be nonhuman/feel you should be nonhuman enough to be calling yourself transotherkin you are already otherkin - genuinely, what else do you think is required to qualify, exactly? And even if you well and truly are absolutely certain you're not already despite those feelings, you can just... become otherkin, or an otherlinker (a term that will yield more "okay but how do I do that" resources if you look into it), whatever term you prefer. It's okay. With all the gentleness in my heart, stop enshrining questioning doubt and gatekeeping-inflicted self-doubt as part of your identity and just claim the word that you have every right to anyway. It's okay. You're allowed. Come sit with us.
Hey. I'm a singlet and I honestly don't follow syscourse a lot because I am not directly affected by it and my NPD makes me stay away from things that don't affect me but I saw that there were many singlets that had a stance and most of them are anti endo and I am like... Wtf? Sib, you ain't no damn system. It's like if a non lgbtq+ person had an opinion on queer discourse NO. The only thing you should be doing and saying is: I don't know but I think that anyone should be cared for and have rights and shits. That ain't that goddamn hard.
Sorry if I sound a bit aggressive, my tone is meant to be rather neutral. (Quick note because I think it matters, use it or he when talking about me in third person.).
Some people just are looking for groups to hate. It's as simple as that.
I think that there is a more generalized pluralophobia behind it!
That there are some singlets who are only capable of "caring" about systems if they can feel superior. They will accept systems as long as those systems accept that they are inferior to the singlet majority.
Those are the vibes that I get from a lot of singlet sysmeds.
It's a very conditional sort of acceptance casting systems as broken things that need to be fixed.
The moment they encounter a system who says "we didn't have trauma and our lives are perfectly fine and happy because we are together," That's now something that is a threat to established norms. It's a threat to singlet-normatism.
Wanted to make a positivity post regarding some things that we see fake-claimed based on our experiences.
So shout out to systems who:
Are mostly fictives!
Can sometimes/frequently willingly switch!
Have low amnesia barriers!
Have little to no difference in how alters type/speak!
Aren't entirely sure about being a system!
Are certain in being a system!
Speak aloud more often then internally!
Have/had maladaptive daydreaming!
Split due to hyperfixations!
Have had alters fuse due to trauma!
Openly switch in public!
Split tons of headmates at once!
Have had some sort of communication since childhood!
Don't want to fuse!
Don't have access to their headspace memory!
Have triggers that pull alters OUT of front!
Believe your own experiences! If you feel like you might be plural, you probably are.
when ur sysmates are watching your daydreams in the background and you finally notice them;

i will explode everyone that tells us that we are not 'separate beings'. we are and thats who we view ourselves as, deal with it. like i know thats probably not how you view yourself or whatever but yall gotta remember the system and plural experience is a wide one. and there are gonna be systems and plurals that experience things you dont.
we say we are separate beings. treat us as such.
and DONT correct us or try to tell us what we are.

Fictives, Fictionkin, Soulbounds, all of fictionkind
seeing art and thinking “That’s me!” Is okay, you’re not selfish or self centered for it. Seeing ship art or smut about you and feeling strange about it is okay to feel and also okay to talk about on your blog or to your friends. If you’re not harassing the people who make them, then it shouldn’t matter and nobody should care. Non fictionkind do this shit all the time, they look at characters and say “they’re so me”, so why should it matter if you do the same? It’s you! - V
