Somewhat of a shock, at first, feeling alienated in overlapping "plural spaces" when you have a CDD.
I see plurality as its own concept, and have mixed feelings on what I see. I just know I'm not plural.
â I'm â a random persecutor. For now.
neither is my alter with polar-opposite gender identity & expression, who ends up being treated differently by strangers.
I don't identify as plural, and it's been made perfectly clear to me that I disturb some plurals.
I've read posts that could describe me to a T, refer to me (well, â the host â specifically) as a "headmate fascist" or something similar.
Recently heard: viewing alters as tools is "not normal or okay". Little context was given, other than: that it was regarding a real person's self-concept.
Discovering "littlecourse" blew my mind.
Get this: some of my â child â alters are stronger, wiser, and more reliable in daily life than certain â adult â alters.
Their â age â is not chronological or linear. The meaning depends on the alter.
Arbitrarily revoking my own 'capacity to consent' based on an, ultimately, symbolic trait...
would be terrible for my healing.
Sometimes, I don't consent. I'm an adult; my reasons are my business. This applies to all age-restricted activities. For me, not everyone ever.
And, an honourable mention đ for every time I've been asked to avoid talk of integration (alter fusion).
That's just something I do. It's still happening, even if you cover your ears and go "la la la". If that genuinely troubles you, please confront why.
