if by ableist you mean either "believes you can exist without a doctor's permission or a certificate in Valid from Internet" or "believes tools should be open access and not constricted to whoever the developer does or doesn't personally think is cringe" i guess so man i'll be the CEO of ableism

Looking at it is ‘well this side seems to always be shittalking a group of people, gatekeeping resources, fakeclaiming everyone, sending hate in the positive tags to hurt someone, sending gore in DMs/asks/posts to people vs….. this side who talks about both the positives and negatives of being plural, a side who’s supportive of anyone questioning and doesn’t push them into either label, a side who’s nice to singlets asking genuine questions or for advice….’

And it’s like. Wow I wonder which side id rather be on. Huh

yeah no we ourselves are traumagenic entirely that's how the whole system operates. so we should allegedly feel "supported" by the vocally anti-endo community but we just don't. i won't go so far as to say everyone who feels this way is going out of their way to hurt people but the message has been clear to me that if you don't 1. believe systems are cursed by a disgusting evil brain virus only doctors can fix (which is an ableist thing to believe about CDDs in general) or 2. believe systems that don't consider themselves to be "caused" by any particular adverse event or experience are lying or misguided about their own identities, a lot of people consider you inherently an opponent of traumagenic systems regardless of who you are

it's also worth noting that we consider ourselves to be part of the Plural community rather than the CDD community for this reason too, as we've found more connection in the broader scope of people

i won't go into specifics, but the rhetoric many anti-endo spaces parrot is what caused us to, for 4 whole years, entirely ignore all signs that we were a system. we were told it wasn't possible for us to be one because if we were we'd have this specific set of traits, or that specific set of traumas, or feel this specific way about other systems. this resulted in one of the worst periods of our life as we struggled with both knowing eachother were there and not having any language or feeling entitled even to research it. obviously things are much better now, but we know firsthand the trouble these strict guidelines cause for systems

all in all, it's just a mess. a recent one, at that, seeing as older communities hardly even made a distinction (surprisingly or unsurprisingly, it wasn't deemed particularly necessary to divvy support by what type of system you were). i hope we can work past it collectively soon

alteredpanel showed these i thought it would be fun to do the same since we have nearly our whole system on our main island. spark and fark inspired by lamedrago's miis

hi, anon. this is something you keep to yourself instead of sharing with someone who faces scrutiny and disbelief from every angle while struggling with a life changing mental disorder.

I have heard the "30 year old IT guy" thing so many times. it never gets less frustrating. if you want an actual explanation, usually the people dealing with this who are most vocal about it in online spaces are young, queer, and neurodivergent. most of these people do not have a 30 year old IT guy because a 30 year old IT guy is not and has never been relevant in their life.

there's a 45 year old cis guy in here who likes botany but instead of asking, you decided to go on about how you don't believe that my experiences are real, and how the way people like me talk about our lives is "corny".
