#suck my balls TPA

[sysmedsaresexist]

Would you do a more complete break down about the TPA and it's issues? I just read that plural page you mentioned and it's pretty bad. One paragraph starts criticizing a paper's results without ever mentioning the paper author or links, but conveniently links to the paper that backs up their point.

Paired with all the typos and personal bias, I swear the whole website is just one person writing.

It is just one person, Stronghold :) they actually have guest writers, and then they go and change the articles written so that they match the Stronghold system's views :))) isn't the TPA wonderful??

They have a warm line that they advertise on Twitter as a hot line, despite not having the appropriate training or certifications :))))) they're going to get people killed

They refuse to release their financial records so that people can see where their donations go :))

They're ableist and deny the trauma basis of DID 🥳

They block anyone who points out faults in their articles

They were called out BY NAME by a doctor for not understanding the ToSD in an article about the ToSD

They manipulate figures from research articles to make points that aren't factually accurate

TPA can suck my balls

Hot take

Calling "plurality" a normal human experience, saying that anyone and everyone can be, or is, plural, and purposefully erasing and removing the line of what plurality is, and then lumping DID/OSDD under the "plural umbrella" is such a slap in the face to what we're experiencing

It completely reduces our experience to something "normal" (it's not, nothing about what has happened to those with DID/OSDD, and nothing about what we're experiencing, is normal), to something that everyone can experience (it's not, that's why only some people end up developing DID/OSDD when faced with trauma), and draws a direct comparison of alters to something that is largely philosophical and spiritual (fuck right off, alters aren't the same as what endogenics and those who participate in cultural and spiritual possession rituals are experiencing)

Your normal human experience of ever-changing facets in different situations and around different people isn't remotely similar to DID/OSDD, and I contend that it's not even really plurality

Re: powertothrplurals post, I thought tsod was just a theory to conceptualize spectrum of dissociation and not literal 1:1 hard cold cut "do or die" fact. ??

There's actually SO MUCH MORE to the TOSD than people realize-- you can see it on brain scans!! It's incredible!

It was developed over a century ago!

It's so thoroughly and consistently proven true that the ICD actually included it!

DID (hah) you know that???

MOST PEOPLE DON'T

This is INCREDIBLE science that everyone looks at and just tosses aside. It's crazy to me.

Here's another post about the ToSD for shits and giggles, I'm so proud of the final post in that thread.

Here's a doctor discussing how the TPA has no idea what they're even talking about!

We love science in this house. We love the ToSD for what it is-- the most valuable and scientifically supported theory on trauma that we have.

I'm so tired

Blah blah blah debunk debunk don't trust the TPA

Link a paper here

Don't trust the TPA

Suck my balls TPA

Go away, TPA

DID they really just say that?

(Yes, they did)

[sysmedsaresexist]

They really ARE looking to be a crisis hotline -- that's so incredibly dangerous, they are not trained to do that, they discuss their training and qualifications on the website, and they are not trained

But they are blatantly implying that they'll fill that void

Don't donate to this!

It's so scummy that they've skewed the numbers like this and worded it in such a weird way. You can't just delete an entire section of the chart and not point out how it affects overall numbers-- 62% of 60% of all responders is a much smaller number than this picture implies.

36 people out of 100 said that, and they're counting on you being too dumb to notice so you'll give them money.

From their website:

Do not drag vulnerable, traumatized DID/OSDD systems into this.

If they triggered emotional flooding in one of these sessions... Can you imagine the damage?

I have never hated anything as much as the TPA

[sysmedsaresexist]

Ngl, watching hardcore antis link pro endo resources is hilarious

[justanothersyscourse]

Found the TPA article

Let's bask in the glory of this horribly dangerous statement

People really need to stop and think before they go and just say things on the internet

[sysmedsaresexist]

TPA, at it again

I don't know what makes me angrier, the implication that everyone is plural or the implication that DID/OSDD is just extreme, long-lasting voice hearing and "not feeling like yourself"

[justanothersyscourse]

Was anyone going to tell me that the TPA managed to

turn this into an issue about endos, start a petition that's more about the lack of recognition for endos rather than the use of the videos about DID, use the opportunity to try, ONCE AGAIN, to push for a spot at the ISSTD, AND ask for donations???

(they really did, because they never miss an opportunity to profit off DID)

[sysmedsaresexist]

For context, the meaning of "more than one" is used by TPA to belittle DID/OSDD systems by claiming only "plurals" have personhood by virtue of being "more people", vs DID systems, which are "less than one person". In other words, a broken person. Incomplete parts.

Parts language is not inherently dehumanizing. I understand it can be for some, but it wasn't meant to be. Use what language you feel comfortable with, but the moment you start comparing being more than one to parts, or you start thinking there's two different DID experiences of being more or less than one, you've lost the plot in my opinion.

I won't allow people to come here and start saying you can only have DID and be "plural" if you identify as more than one, as if that's better or different than the people with DID that are... What? What's the opposite? Less than one. No, no. We don't do that here. Personal language be damned, call yourself what you want, but I don't allow "more than one" on this blog because of the history, connotation, and connection to TPA.

All language is valid, but... The people who use "more than one" tend to be stuck up on a high horse thinking they're special.

UwU 🌸 asker, "DID systems can be plural, as long as they identify as more than one-- like ME", get out of here

[sysmedsaresexist]

Why do some pro endos genuinely think the TOSD is "ableist" 😭

TPA wrote a horrible article about why, and an actual doctor proceeded to call stronghold out BY NAME for being extremely uneducated

[justanothersyscourse]

just had someone say "people with DIDOSDD can identify as singlets" stfu. you dont know jack shit. its a fucking disorder why are you saying we can just back out of it

I wonder if they're taking the route of... Since alters are "parts" and headmates are "people", those with DID/OSDD are less multiple than endos -- therefore closer to, or basically, singlets

Deadass that's a real take I've seen, and TPA pushes it hard

[justanothersyscourse]

Who is TPA?

Oh BOY

Let's talk about The Plural Association and the stronghold system

They're responsible for this horrible piece of trash

And this one

And this

Sigh, and this

Here's some best of

They don't know what they're talking about but endos don't care

They consider themselves to be better than everyone because they're uneducated???

They really just say whatever comes to their mind, no matter how ridiculous

I'm convinced they're going to get people killed

In regards to the whole "people vs parts" thing, they're responsible for this piece of absolute trash

??? That's not how you do DID awareness

And that's just a taste

I hate them 🤗
