#antipolymind

Ive been seeing some weird rhetoric being pushed of what alters "should" look like or what their purpose "should" be based on said appearance.

Dont try and force alters into boxes ever, but especially not based on the made up gender roles our society pushes and the misogyny the world burns with.

One of our caretakers is a man named King. He makes sure we shower, eat, sleep etc. Hes mostly soft spoken and while hes very sarcastic hes mostly a pacifist. One of our old anger holder/protector was a woman named Willow. She kept us safe but also fought for us as soon as she felt we were threatened. She was loud and outspoken and at some times insensitive.

I appreciate both of them so much, they both helped so much and made life so much easier to live.

My point stands however, dont criticize someone else's alters or your own for acting out roles that dont fit what you think they "should"

Hello, I believe I have discussed this before-- You'll find many posts on it by simply searching up the word polymind on my blog. However, as a simple / shorter explanation :

Polyminds are endos but renamed, they treat their "subpersonalities" (normal human experince) like seperate unique people in their head (not true, also just really harmful for the brain) by doing things like using proxys for them, making introductions, giving them names, pronouns, genders, "jobs", ect. They're literally just pretending to be systems but under different names & alongside that they're causing harm to themselves and potentially encouraging others to do the same by trying to forcefully seperate their own identity.

That's as simplified as I can put it right now, I do heavily reccomend you read up on my other posts on it if you're curious, but yeah. Also while it does sound similar to the therapy, they actively claim they're different (infact they also literally claim you can be plural by being polymind but yk), and also don't even follow the proper like, steps or shit for the therapy so like, yeah

Me: haha thats a funny post, im gonna reblog

*reblogs, decides to check out their account*

I was then shot 27 times /ref

"what do you mean by endogenics having 100 different definitions?" weird that they're in denial but nonetheless I explain

"it's either: they dont have did, or they have did, they are a system, they dont claim to be a system, they can XXX, or they cant XXX"

very clearly contradictory definitons of endogenic systems

"they literally don't contradict eachother"

"We arent stealing system terms!" Has turned to "oh well...it'd be really annoying to just make entirely new ones" and "we should all share terms because we all share experiences!"

It gets exhausting seeing people try to justify roleplaying as a system because they "aren't claiming to be a system!!!" and "aren't endo but identify as plural due to x y and z". Like. Stop pretending you care about being against ableists if you're just gonna be one while pretending you're better

"pluralkin" "polymind" I promise roleplay is an option

YEAH. LITERALLY. Please, just stop pretending to be a system, it's not funny, it's not cute. You're just an ableist dickhead. Hiding behind terms like "polymind" or "pluralkin" doesn't change how ableist you're being. If you're so insistent on acting like different people, do roleplay, pretend you're a fox or something for an hour, just stop claiming to be "plural" when you're not
