#altho it would be funny to see peoples reaction to 'the future is female' to be “NOOO THEY'RE GONNA TURN THE MEN INTO WOMEN!!”

[imjustaf444keriguess]

quick question, do you think "the future is female" meant everyone should be a woman? do you understand that "the future is female" meant that the future accepts and cares for female people / women? so why does "the future is plural" suddenly mean everyone should be plural? it's a call for acceptance.

also plurality is very much known to be not exclusively trauma-based in the medical community. yes, DID is very often trauma based, but plurality is related to the perspective of yourself and selves, which can fall under a few different categories (according to an email from dr colin ross)

DID and [OSDD] as defined by [the] DSM-5 - which require distress and dysfunction. Neither of these require trauma by DSM-5 rules but there virtually always is trauma.

2. Other DSM-5 dissociative disorders.

3. People with parts and trauma but no distress or dysfunction.

4. People with parts but no trauma, and no distress or dysfunction.

you might not like her, but sophieinwonderland has quite a few good sources about this, and many others online have backed up the claim of "yeah people's senses of self and selves are weird and you can have different self states / parts / people in your brain in a similar way to DID, even if it's not the exact same"

to assume that "the future is plural" means "we want more children to be abused" is fucked up. it means "we want people, regardless of if they were traumatized or not, to be accepted as they are, even if they have multiple 'selves'." this means people not being afraid of stigma regarding plurality and DID/OSDD and systemhood. it means people being themselves and being accepted and treated like people.

(also, the TOSD doesn't contradict non-traumagenic plurality, you can read about that in some of sophies sources. or google it. im not your parent.)

Genuine Question‼️⭐️

what does “endo” mean or refer to???

Hi! Okay I'm so sorry you've had to learn about endogenic systems and not what endo should stand for imo (endometriosis).

An endogenic system by definition is: A system formed with out trauma. Which just isn't possible given that DID is a trauma based disorder.

The fact based issues with endogenics

According to the theory of structural disassociation, alters initially form when the system is a child and can't process their trauma and it 'overflows' thus meaning that their personality can't become a cohesive 'singular' one.

I won't be able to explain it all here because in sleepy, but this is a good video which uses a very helpful analogy of water and cups to explain trauma thresholds in kids (and adults).

The community based issues with endogenics

They try and insert themselves in the system community a lot, even if they don't have any trauma at all. I've seen endos push for 'the future is plural' (which just means more kids would be abused and harmed). I've seen systems harassed, suicide baited, all because they don't believe in medical facts.

I'm not saying that every endo is 'bad' or does this but I've seen it happen so many times.

I realise I haven't explained this too well, but we are sleepy and I'm not the smartest alter ever, I hope this makes sense though!
