PUNKS AGAINST ENDOS!

ANTI ENDO. (PRO) ENDOS DNI!!!

[starstruck-sillies]

Okay guys, we did some thinking and decided it's probably best for us to step away from syscourse for a while! We've been really angry for a lot of reasons lately, and that's really not fun at all, and I'll be completely honest; we have been taking that out on people through syscourse lately, and it took a while for us to realize that's what was happening. So, for our own wellbeing, and to keep us from continuing to be needlessly cruel, we're going to interact with syscourse for a while. Idk when we'll come back to it, we'll just decide that when we feel stable enough to do so without being so mean to people. Our stance hasn't changed, but we absolutely need a break from syscourse bc it's harming us to keep engaging with it the way we are, and we really need to step away from it altogether on here.

We're sorry to the people we hurt recently, we really didn't realize we were taking things out on you guys and we should've have been doing that, we had no reason to be so hurtful. If you don't forgive us, that's fine, we just wanted to let yall know we now know we've been super mean for no good reason and need to do better.

I'll just say one more thing about our stance on a recent queer issue floating around in syscourse (the fact that this ended up in syscourse is weird, but we'll just say this one last thing bc it's more about queerness than syscourse)

If you chose to be queer, yes, we very much believe you're still valid! Idk if it ever came across like we think that choosing to be queer in some way is bad, but we wanted to make it clear that, while we definitely didn't choose our identities, if you did, that's totally fine, and you're just as valid as any queer person who didn't choose <3 You're welcome on our blog, and you're safe to talk about those queer experiences here, I promise!!

We'll still be posting on this blog btw!! We'll just be shifting to posting more about our own system experiences aside from syscourse. Also, (pro) endos are still allowed to interact, we just ask that you not try to convince us to change our views for a while, since we just can't handle that kinda thing right now. As long as it's focused on CDD experiences, go for it!! I promise, we'll be nicer from now on, and if we start being mean, PLEASE tell us directly so we can do better!!

We'll also be more active in the StarHaven Hideout server (we were very sick for a week rip) but we're fine now!! It's a fun place to hang out, and we're planning some events for everyone in the server if you guys wanna check that out!!

Crying so hard dude imagine basing a punk identity around the white ass psych community’s dsm5, completely ignoring all spiritual and cultural forms of plurality because you want to bow to the feet of an oppressive, racist system

(yes this is about anti endos and systempunk)

I actually feel like we should take it back to talk about rejecting the psych systems harms and having plural liberation despite the culture around fakeclaiming that’s especially used to harm open (maybe mostly disordered) systems who talk about the oppression they face

psychiatrist love to have being open as a system as a sign of faking because they don’t want us to fucking talk about how we’re treated by them, if we mention it we’re suddenly a faking liar whose words are invalid

edit: ou ohhh,,,, guys check this outt

[anomalymon]

My take on the systempunk thing is it really feels like this

Fakeclaimers: You need medical proof to prove your existence to me! Endogenics: The field of psychology is ableist towards systems which means a lot of it is under-researched, and an experience shouldn't require medical proof to be valid. Fakeclaimers: Psychology is everything, this is an institution we support. Endogenics: *Start to get a lot more medical backing and studies coming out during the 20s* Fakeclaimers: Actually the field of psychology is ableist towards systems, we don't support that institution, #systempunk

Well, I went through all the trouble of typing a response and then they just block me before I can post... if only there was a tag I could post my response in... 🤔

You’re the ones who invaded our tags first,

That's pretty clearly not true if you've been paying attention to anything happening over the past several months on this site and anti-endos constantly posting hate in inclusive tags.

Not only do you take away system resources,

What resources? Be specific?

Terms? Because again, besides Plural as a term, fictives and factives were taken from the endogenic soulbonders. In reality, vast majority of system terms in circulation came from endogenic and pro-endo systems.

Maybe you mean resources like Pluralkit and Simply Plural. You know, that are made by the pro-endos. And get many of their donations from endogenic systems.

Or, I don't know... do you think the non-trauamgenic systems and non-disordered systems are seeking mental help from your trauma therapists? 🤣

Come on! Tell me the resources! Don't just use this as a buzzword!

Tell me, you have no actual medical professions claiming endogenics are real and we have many claiming they aren’t.

Oh? You do, do you? Can you name them? I can name mine!

Here's Dr. Eric Yarbrough...

That book, Transgender Mental Health, was actually reviewed and published by the American Psychiatric Association, by the way!

Of course, if you want the opinions of an expert in DID, there are these emails from Colin Ross!

Oh, but what does he know? He's just one of the foremost experts on DID with 40 years of experience.

How about brain scans? Here's Dr. Michael Lifshitz, psychiatry professor of McGill University discussing some of the findings from his $50,000 study into tulpa systems, sponsored by Stanford University, which showed neurological changes in tulpa systems while a tulpa was controlling their limbs.

To be fair, the results haven't been published yet, so maybe you can hold onto the hope that this professor with many published papers on his belt is lying about the results. That will be a fun hope to see crushed!

And I could go on... and on... I have a long list and this is just a taste of it.

But anyway, you were telling me how these "many" medical professionals are claiming endogenic systems aren't real. Can you name them for me? Even just one? Come on. If there are so many, it shouldn't be hard!

People like you groom actual systems into believing their trauma “wasn’t bad enough” so they think they’re endogenic

"Punk" to you is apparently using authoritarian right-wing queerphobic tactics of misusing the word "grooming" to make people associate the out group with child abusers. (See every right-winger accusing LGBT people of grooming kids to be gay or grooming them to be transgender.)

Not to mention you stole the term syshopping from RAMCOA survivors.

Nope. That's a lie.

System hopping, as a term for traveling between different bodied-systems, existed since at least as far back as 2005.

The RAMCOA association came from one RAMCOA system in 2021. The system who originally said that later said their words were taken out of context, deleted the original tweet, and condemned anti-endos for using their tweet to spread hate.

I've gone over this before with sources in the post below, thoroughly debunking this lie.

There is zero basis to this whatsoever.

Although you bringing this up and reminding me how anti-endos are trying to rewrite history to take this term too is only increasing my motivation for taking the systempunk and syspunk tags.

Not to fucking mention, you steal actual therapists from us by trying to make them believe in endogenic bullshit.

Wait!

I thought you said no medical professionals believed us!

Now we're stealing therapists by making them believe in endogenic systems?

Which is it??????

never touch the systempunk tag again

Nope! Sorry! Too late for that now!

Anti-science hate groups don't get safe spaces. And the fact that you've created an echo chamber where you can safely spread lies like the systemhopping libel above is only evidence that I need to make more of an effort to correct the lies of anti-endos at their source.

No Safe Space For Hate!

🍁Hot take: Instead of posting in systempunk tags we should go back to using the pluralpunk ones more/srs

🍁Is fucking with anti-endos fun? Yeah, but it can also be draining when they inevitably attack you for going into their tags.

🍁Sometimes it's better to encourage inclusivity than challenge exclusivity-- and while those SOUND like the same thing, it's the difference between going into systempunk tags to rile up anti-endos and using the pluralpunk tag to show system solidarity and progress.

Endogenic =/= nondisordered. There are endogenics with trauma unrelated to their origin that caused DID/OSDD-1, and some who simply are dysfunctional and therefore disordered without trauma.

No one's saying that people are system medicalists for believing DID and OSDD-1 are disorders. It's medicalism to insist that those disorders are the only way to experience plurality. Especially without a single shred of evidence or a single medical professional on record supporting that claim. Meanwhile endogenics and nondisordered systems have the support of the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization.

It's not that it's ableist to not support endogenics. It's ableism to insist that neurodivergence must be a disorder and if it's not causing you dysfunction then you can't be having that neurodivergence. And it's bigoted and ableist to insist that people must be delusional or have ficticious disorder if they're insisting they're plural without trauma origins or dysfunction.

Also, most endogenics are trauma survivors too. We're not untraumatized people going against trauma survivors. We who are endogenic and have trauma are fighting for the right to determine the origins of our plurality for ourselves based on our experiences and knowledge of our personal history and beliefs. We don't want to be automatically considered traumagenic just because we're plural and have trauma. We have the right of self-determination to figure out ourselves our own way.

Also, we're not taking any terms that belong to pwDID. "System" has been an all plurals term since the 1990s, and when we first joined the online plural community about ten years ago it was first most widely associated with endogenics, NOT pwDID. "System hopping" (which most endogenics don't even believe in anyway) traces back to the general plural community in the early 2000s and did not come from RAMCOA systems. Fictive and factive came from soulbonding communities. Are there any other terms you've been told we're taking?

Also there's really not an influx of endogenics trying to go into traumagenic spaces. There's mixed origin systems who do because part of their origins IS trauma, even if not all of their system stems from it, and they belong in those spaces. Endogenics with dissociative disorders deserve access to spaces for dissociative disorders.

Recently there was a big outcry about the systempunk tag because 1) Endogenics are systems too, 2) pro-endogenic systems who are traumagenic are systems too, 3) it was actually coined and the tag started quite awhile ago by a pro-endo system before anti-endos tried to claim it as their own and 4) being anti-endo and pro-medical-origins-only is the antithesis of what being punk is about.

There IS an influx of endogenics into non-system spaces like fandoms and digital pet sites and furry spaces and hobby spaces, pushing out anti-endos. We belong in those spaces just as much as anyone else. We shouldn't have to confine our plurality strictly to plural specific spaces and have to mask everywhere else. That's not fair when anti-endos don't have to do the same.

Please note my use of language here is very intentional. Anti-endo is anyone, primarily systems but also singlets, who believe that the only way to be a system is to have trauma origins leading to a dissociative disorder and therefore endogenics are mistaken or faking. Endogenics aren't always nondisordered, and nondisordered systems aren't always endogenic.

Hey hey, this isn’t the point of my blog. But I wanted to say that at this point I am more endo-neutral currently. I’ve been looking into research for both sides so I’m currently undecided. I’m just waiting for more hard evidence of non-disordered plurality to be confirmed.

Though, even if non-disordered plurality IS real. I am still very against the movement of taking labels and spaces away that are for traumagenic systems. Even if endos are in fact real you guys need to stop battling trauma survivors, seriously.

And the term “sysmed” is stupid. You can’t make a term when all they’re doing is medicalising a medical disorder. If endos want to be accepted then you guys need to make some changes in the way you do things. The people you’re going against are trauma survivors and you need to fucking respect that, they’re medicalising their MEDICAL disorder, they aren’t sysmeds they’re people with a serious disorder.

If you guys truly want to be accepted, you need to start having actual conversations instead of calling trauma survivors “sysmeds” and “bigots”. That’s not how you’re gonna gain respect. Also stop calling people ableist for not supporting you, how would they be ableist when you claim not to have a disorder?

Stop trying to go into traumagenic spaces, stop stealing terms meant for trauma survivors. And then maybe you’ll gain some respect.

I am leaning anti still, but I wanted to share my thoughts. This will be my last post on the matter.
