I think what a lot of non-traumagenics don't understand is that this isn't a "people in your head" disorder. It's disassociation, losing days or weeks at a time. It's being unaware when time is passing. It's not having a sense of self. Not knowing what you enjoy, or being unable to enjoy what you enjoy. It's looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person in it.
It's looking at close family photographs and not knowing who any of the people are. It's forgetting friends, forgetting family, forgetting loved ones. Forgetting peoples' faces, their voices, not understanding who's texting or calling you. It's not remembering even having fun, or happy events.
It's difficulty with school and work, sometimes being physically unable to comprehend the information you're receiving. It's losing your job because you forget that you even have one. It's being lucky if you even graduate. It's being unable to have a driver's license if you get diagnosed. It's not being able to even get a job if you have it listed as a disability in your paperwork.
It's being paranoid, afraid of the people around you. It's random bouts of emotions that make no sense, such as anger or fear. It's not being able to remember what some emotions feel like. It's even not being able to process emotions.
It's intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to get around. It's potentially endangering yourself or others, sometimes without even knowing why. In cases of abuse, it's intrusive thoughts about being abused. It's unwanted desires, impulses, and urges. It's being terrified of your own mind.
It's comorbid with other disorders that are created from trauma. Systems often are borderline, narcissistic, antisocial, histronic, obsessive compulsive, schizoid, etc etc etc, multiple of them, or in extremely severe cases, almost all of them.
Of course, these experiences vary from person to person, however this isn't "there are people in my head" funtimes. CDDs are created from extreme childhood trauma, usually abuse, where our personalities split to cope with the trauma. Alters are a symptom, not the whole disorder.
If you're non-traumagenic, or support them in any capacity, you're ableist. Point blank. And if you are tulpa or support them, you're racist, too. Tulpamancy is an advanced spiritual practice from Eastern Asia religions that takes years to understand and perform. It is completely different than alters.
You don't have people in your head, you don't have alters/headmates/parts if you don't have a dissociative disorder. Plain and simple.
