Calling someone theyfab is never okay. Not even if you feel they're "using their AFABness as a weapon" (insane type shit i'm hearing i kid you not). If you are trying to talk about someone who you truly believe is using their AGAB as a weapon, find a different term. It's not hard.

Theyfab is a slur. Period.

If you're going to be bigoted you can at least try not to be so obvious about it.

pro endo singlet & pro endo system flags i made :3 (im a pro endo singlet so dont start syscourse on this post, thanks! (also due to the fact i am not plural but support plurals of all origins))

miche themed versions can be found here! (too lazy to make a seperate post for these lol) pro endo singlet (blank ver), pro endo system (blank ver)

these dont rlly have stripe meanings tbh but anyone is welcome to make stripe meanings for them!!

1st image is pro endo singlet & the 2nd image is pro endo system!

[id: 2 4 striped horizontal flags, the 1st flag is pro endo singlet. the stripes in order are: dark purple, pinkish lavender, muted mint green & white, the 2nd flag is pro endo system. the stripes in order are: white, muted purple, light mint green & dark mint green.]

The discourse is very broad and I definitely recommend looking into different perspectives of it, but here is my own perspective on it (said as a vague singletsona, for simultaneous privacy and blurry reasons.)

Please also note that I& don't speak for the entire mod team. All of us on the mod team are pro-endo or endo-neutral, but we all have different specific views.

In my experience, anti-endos generally believe that plurality (existing as multiple beings and/or distincts parts of a one whole in one body) can only exist in those who experience dissociative psychiatric disorders. Many even gatekeep it further and believe that only those who have the specific dissociative disorders of OSDD-1b and DID can experience plurality.

Some pro-endos have made the connection that they are essentially the system version of a transmed, as anti-endos believe that non-disordered (systems without a dissociative disorder) and non-traumagenic plurals (which are systems that haven't formed from trauma) are "stealing resources" from traumagenic disordered systems, and are spreading misinformation that "harms real systems."

They also commonly group all these groups together as "endos", which is a false equivalence as not all endogenic systems (which are systems that formed without trauma) are even non-disordered, nor are all non-disordered systems endogenic in nature, despite how it is often framed in their communities. In fact, some endogenic systems later develop DID or other dissociative disorders and are still excluded from anti-endo communities regardless, all in the name of "protecting real systems."

Anti-endos overall believe all endogenic systems are either faking or are traumagenic systems (plurals formed by trauma) in denial.

We stand against all of this. Especially considering that some of our mods are either endo or simply don't conform to anti-endos' narrow beliefs on what plurality is, and have thus been ostracized from their communities otherwise.
