#if a person uses plural to try and force personhood onto parts that aren't people? that's fucked up

also i think people's opinions on what they're comfortable being called or would prefer being called can differ from what they find as acceptable as an umbrella term to describe the experience itself, so saying "would you be comfortable if someone called you specifically a certain label" is MUCH different than "would you be comfortable if someone labeled the experience that you also have as a certain label"
for some, the answers would be the same. for others, they might understand why the umbrella term(s) might differ from their comfort term(s)
#altho again: i really don't care either way personally.#they're all synonyms with slightly different connotations and implications depending on who's using them#also what you consider 'valid' will definitely skew how you feel about umbrella terms and such#if you think endogenic plural systems aren't really multiple/plural/systems/whatever? then you might not want to use the same terms they do#or might prefer umbrella terms that you see as excluding them#if a person uses plural to try and force personhood onto parts that aren't people? that's fucked up#if a person uses system to try and enforce a 'different disordered parts' idea onto headmates that are unique people? that's also fucked up#...idk where i'm going with this. i'm just experiencing feelings.#to me system has a slightly more medical and psychological tone to it#whereas plural is slightly more metaphysical and spiritual#but they both encompass roughly the same idea of more than one 'self' in some form#it's like arguing over whether “beautiful” or “gorgeous” is better. they're synonyms!!#some people might not like one or the other but they're basically the same thing they're practically the same word#why do we caaaaare#why are we lowkey going back to cdd = system and endogenic = plural againnnnn
