Feel free to comment if you use another term.

Natural multiple was coined by astraea in the late 90s. It didn't exist before this.

(Though I contend that the multiple self movement integrated with the natural movement at this time, check that out on Google, cool stuff)

CDD communities existed in the 80s and in large numbers.

The natural multiples didn't fight for CDD acceptance, they fought to have CDDs removed from the DSM and called survivor multiples literal babies that couldn't stop crying.

I cannot believe I have to say this, it's almost 2026

Stop erasing us from history and claiming we didn't do anything for ourselves.

some singlets need to understand that a system letting you know that they are one is an extremely vulnerable thing for them. it should also mean a lot to the singlet too, if someone i knew trusted me enough to tell me that, id feel so joypilled and honored, not like "okay now do this" 😭

Cause for the group of people who insist that psych knows nothing and is unreliable, I guess they change their minds when one therapist says "well maybe it's possible"

I'm not even saying that psych is this perfect thing with no issues, misdiagnosis and medical malpractice exists. I'm saying that it's a professional medical field with a ton of studies and research that all point to the same idea. You can't cherry pick which parts you like or throw it all out because you don't like the consensus.

If anyone is curious THIS is the link I was sent as a "study that proves endos exist"

It has like, two citations and that's literally it... And as AESS mentioned, one of the writers was found guilty of a disgusting crime and the other two are just a bit odd (one did it for like. A phD project I think? The other has said weird shit afaik)

It's not very reliable anyways, it's literally just "we asked people questions!!" And alongside that they directly avoided including any answers mentioning trauma, disorders, ect. It's weird

Only one i remeber clearly cause i was freaked out about it was along the lines of "can littles be in sexual relationships" or something. I gave an answer like "probably shouldn't for mental health reasons but they're not bodily children so i suppose you can't really stop them. I dont know enough about this topic" as i didn't know what answer they were looking for and then they sent me a "leave the server within 24 hours or you're banned" dm while having already banned me from it the moment the verification went through

There were other odd specific questions so maybe i answered other stuff wrong? but I think I or someone else panicked at the ban message and deleted the dm so we didn't have to look at it so I can't go back and find it

But long story short i do not understand the verification system on a lot of these servers and they scare me. Why would i be thinking of these things in any capacity in the first place i just got here

It's not ableist to be anti-endo, we are not the ones who harass mentally ill people, some even threatening to take away safe spaces from them.

Also if you claim to "not be disordered" it's not. Ableism. Sorry you don't know what words mean.

What? Is it because it has "punk" in the name? No, obviously not, because even when we made tags that didn't have punk in them, they still invaded the space, took it over, and mocked us while doing so.

It doesn't matter if being endo is punk or not, what matters is the outright disrespect of boundaries that endos present.

If someone was triggered by something you said, so they moved to a different space/stopped talking to you in order to not be triggered again, YOU WOULDN'T FOLLOW THEM RIGHT?

So why do endos consistently insist on invading spaces that are explicitly not for them, and then turn around and say that they are the ones being harassed hm?

Make it make sense.

This User can't choose a system name, userbox!

Made by us!

Some countries don't recognise the disorder or don't have the correct places for diagnosis

Some people live with abusers still or the people they live with can deny their healthcare (minor systems and systems that are unable to advocate for themselves)

Some people are straight up not believed due to factors like racism in the medical field, and other prejudice.

Some people don't want diagnosis, in worries that it'll affect their lives with working, advocation if they have other disorders (mental and/or physical), familial situations (like if they have children etc) or because they can't afford the process.

Some peoples areas don't have the recourses and they might not be able to afford the travel.

Be kind to us undiagnosed folks please.
