disclaimer: im not a fan of endogenic systems, i dont believe you can be a system and not have trauma but i have questions for endogenic systems:
for endogenics or ppl that call themselves mixed origin because some alters are formed without trauma; you are aware that thats called an aparent normal part and thats a sign of trauma correct? like everything on the dissociation spectrum has it so you have to have at least one anp
how do you even know where one alter ends and another begins? youd have to dissociate to have the amnesia barriers seperating your parts and to do that means youd need like a huge stresser in your life which would be the caus of you being plural which would then make you traumagenic so like how does that even work?
also does anyone have actual trustworthy resources on endogenic systems that supports their existance?
bruh fuck vegan alters in a non vegan system
like how dare you you bitch, dont get nauseous while im trying to eat chicken nuggets
i just wanna enjoy my nuggets

HEAR ME OUT
Frank goes to rehab and comes back and slowly starts spiraling because he's actually taking the time to focus on himself and who he is and suddenly realizes that he might not actually be a he
Cue a scene of him sobbing his heart out in Abby's arms as he has the big realization
Abby's of course super supportive (I'm a big fan of queer abby) and takes Frank out shopping to find some outfits to try out to figure out their own personal style and identity
Frank still is proud to be called a dad but absolutely loves when Tanner calls them Dad in public on a more feminine day where she's wearing a skirt and very obviously looks feminine. Frank's a chaotic bastard that takes pride in being a menace in public
She obviously tells Mel first and this sets off a course of events where Mel Abby and Frank end up in a queer sapphic polycule (mel is acearo so its very qpp too)
the others in the ED learn because one of Frank's new trans friends (because duh she abby and mel are obviously going to community events) comes in due to some injury (maybe a non serious car crash or smth) and gets super confused because that is Frankie and their pronouns are she/they why are all these people calling this badass lesbian doctor a he
they have a concussion and so in a moment of confusion lets it slip and Frank just laughs and just shrugs and is like yea youre right because she loves fucking with her friends and so now the entire ED staff are like oh god have I been misgendering my friend this whole time and none of them are comfortable enough to ask until finally santos is like dude are you trans because she just does not gaf and is tired of the others all being uncomfortable
frank's just like yea have been for a while and keeps moving
robby especially is internally freaking out a bit because hes a good attending™️ and cant believe he missed this major part of his favorite resident
THE ONLY WICCAN I LIKE IS THE MARVEL CHARACTER WICCAN CAUSE HES FUCKIN COOL AS SHIT
THIS THIS THIS
people on the reddit sub for the pitt demonizing frank for yelling at robby as if hes not a man who is scared for his job and his life???
like was what he said the right thing? no
is his addiction like robby's ptsd? no
but is he a guy who is at the end of a 15 hour shift with a mass shooting who is suffering from withdrawal watching himself hit rock bottom??? yes
addiction, like ptsd, is a disease and both robby and frank are at their lows and taking it out on each other in the wrong way
robby needs therapy
frank needs rehab
i hope the show tackles that in some way
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?
reblog to kiss a narcissist on the mouth (with passion)
it impacts it in the same way bipolar or ptsd does. that doesnt make bipolar or ptsd an identity.

Alright a conversation with my friend has led us to a dilemma so:
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
