Carry Me From These Walls Brother Of Mine [moved]

when all you see about your existence is how annoying or difficult or unmanageable it must be, it gets grating. we have NEVER seen a polyfrag post get anywhere close to our amount of members, because apparently anything over 1,500 is completely unmentionable. and even then, polyfragmented medians, spiritual systems, or people who have always been polyfrag are just not talked about.

our most modest estimate is that we have 100,000 members. our more accurate estimate is probably around 500,000. and there is systems who are WAY larger than this, somebody reading this is probably pushing the concept of infinity to a newfound limit!

outside of community spaces, the medical journals about polyfragmentation are so clinical, exclusive, and honestly inaccurate a lot of the time. there's more to multiplicity than just hosts and protectors and persecutors and fully-fledged people who can still somehow be boiled down to a convenient, palatable archetype. (i have thoughts on roles but that will be another post)

so many systems don't or can't have defined or consistent roles, origins, identities, internal communication, switches, structure, innerworlds, amnesia, opinions, etc (or have these things at all!!!) and expecting polyfrag systems to fit into the already narrow and stigmatized definition of what you think a system should be is honestly just plain screwed up.

this is messy and there's a lot more i want to say, but mecfs is kicking my ass, so...

Your alter/part/whatever you call them is not black if the body isn't. They're just darker skinned. And yes, me and so many others will get uncomfortable when you say they are.

Same with intersex. They can totally present as intersex in headspace, but don't say intersex only slurs or claim it for the whole body unless you are intersex bodily.

that’s like, not even endo neutral. that’s plain anti-endo rhetoric.

you are still talking over and belittling endogenic systems

you are not helping them. you are pushing them into a box that they don’t fit in.

endogenic systems are not “just CDD systems who forgot their trauma”. they are their own kind of system, and that’s okay

but if you have the mindset that you “support” endos and “want them to recover” from something they don’t have, you are so fucking anti-endo.

Except for ours, who genuinely view their source as just their lives before they got here and are hauntingly source accurate and do not want to be separated from their source, or literally can’t be. As in it causes them existential crises to try and distance themselves from their memories and life.
