The Sleeping System!

"Ofc!! I never fakeclaim any :D except for endos ofc"

Why is it suddenly coming back in an anti-willogenic form?

Anyways, any system origin can have any type of headmate. Endogenic systems can have traumagenic headmates, spirigenic systems can have traumagenic headmates, traumagenic systems can have willogenic headmates.

This goes for disordered and non-disordered systems.

Fakeclaiming someone isn't okay. There are no exceptions. Nope, none. Not even if they are literally against everything you stand for.

News flash: if you claim to be pro-endo and fakeclaim people, you are not pro-endo.

"well multigender/genderfluid people can be gay/lesbian because they count as non women/ non men!"

A lot of us don't. Multigender just means being more than 1 gender. Genderfluid just means having a gender that changes/isn't static. Both of said categories can include various combinations of being a man, being a woman, and even being both! Plenty of us are not 'non men' or 'non women'.

There are gay multigender & genderfluid people who are also women. There are lesbian multigender & genderfluid people who are also men. There's multigender & genderfluid people who are dating gays/lesbians while not being 'non women'/'non men'.

To preface, DID is a trauma disorder just as PTSD is a trauma disorder, there is just heavier compartmentalization. Also there is nothing wrong morally with not wanting to, not having the resources to, or not being stable enough to recover. That isn't what this is about, its about the harm some people are causing to themselves unknowingly. My goal is education and harm reduction.

(Long post but many resources at the bottom)

Telling people with DID- a disorder that makes you disconnected from reality and fantasy prone- that a fully functional life and stable mental state is possible while "being multiple people" is not okay.

Your own links disprove that people with DID are fantasy prone, and you should feel like SHIT for saying that. It's the idea that we're fantasy prone that contributes to the idea that we fantasize our abuse.

Do better. Delete that statement from your fucking vocabulary.

From Revisiting the etiological aspects of dissociative identity disorder: a biopsychosocial perspective

This model suggested that media reports, a high level of social knowledge about DID, influential and suggestive therapists, as well as patients’ own suggestibility, cognitive distortions and fantasy proneness all led patients to believe (wrongly) that they had dissociative identities. This view of DID markedly contrasts with the post-traumatic model of DID (outlined earlier), which proposes that dissociative identities are the primary results of early trauma and the relational, cognitive, emotional, and neurobiological consequences of it (along with other related factors as outlined in this paper) rather than primarily the result of social and cognitive forces.

From Separating Fact from Fiction: An Empirical Examination of Six Myths About Dissociative Identity Disorder

According to the latter (also known as the iatrogenic or sociocognitive model), highly suggestible individuals enact DID following exposure to social influences that cause them to believe that they have the disorder. Thus, according to the fantasy model proponents, DID is not a valid disorder; rather, it is iatrogenically induced in fantasy-prone individuals by therapists and other sources of influence.

From Unraveling the Layers: Dissociative Identity Disorder as a Response to Trauma

Conversely, the fantasy-prone model suggests that dissociation arises from an individual's vivid imagination and inclination toward fantasy [14].

All these articles dispute that pwCDDs are fantasy prone. Here's some more.

Conclusion: ... Fantasy proneness is not excessive in DID...

Dissociative symptoms and how they relate to fantasy proneness in women reporting repressed or recovered memories

Hence, we found no support for the idea that dissociative symptoms can be fully accounted for by fantasy proneness.

‘How I learned to live with multiple personalities’

They concluded that the women with DID were no more fantasy-prone, suggestible or likely to generate false memories than those without a diagnosis. According to the authors, this result challenges the core hypothesis of the ‘fantasy model’.

Systems are gonna have littles who are nothing more than kids in headspace, yet act and function like anyone else.

Systems are gonna have littles who are traumatized.

Systems are gonna have littles who are persecutors.

Systems are gonna have littles who are sexual alters.

Systems are gonna have littles who otherwise have no choice in the adult topics they have to live with.

and the list goes on and on like it could in any other case; Whether or not you like it.

It’s up to a system to deem what they want and think is appropriate for THEIR own system, not for someone outside to decide. Just like every other type of alter you can’t just blanket they’re all going to be some sort of way?

So, to reiterate:

Here's your reminder that all of us-- pro and anti-- are real people behind the screen-- we have families, friends, hobbies, successes, failures, and a whole lot of fucking problems.

Don't lie, yes you do. Yeah, you too. And you.

Think before you post, roll the words over in your head.

Practice empathy (or ask someone in your system to help, I'm sick and fucking tired of hearing, "I'm low empathy," low empathy isn't a pass to being a dick, you know you're in the wrong, you just don't care, and hot take, that's even worse).

Be kind. Show compassion.

Think about the things you're saying to and about people, the things you reblog without even really reading.

Be true to yourself, are you just following the crowd or forging your own way and forming your own thoughts and opinions?

Share a fucking hug.

Be. Fucking. Better.

It is important to state that his work absolutely did focus on trans women way more, and was absolutely written with the goal to primarily target trans women. The concept of autogynephilia has been far more pervasive and harmful to transfem people. That is demonstrably true.

However, to pretend like he did not also pathologize trans men, and create harmful terminology for us as well, is just erasure, plain and simple. I'm seeing people even claiming that trans men created the term solely for kink purposes. Not only is this a blatant falsehood, this claim, much like Blanchard himself, casts trans folks as narcissistic perverts whose primary motivation is sexual gratification.
