The Psychotic Psychonaut

"STEP 1

First of all. No they won't. Apparently determining if someone is a man or woman in archeology is very fucking difficult.

But second of all. There's people in 2022 that genuinely believe women have 1 less rib than men because of what the Bible says.

So not only is determining the sex of bones really fucking hard. But there's people in 2022 that don't know what a woman's skeleton looks like.

There is a greater than zero chance that you're bones will be discovered in 500 years and people will have zero fucking clue what your sex assigned at birth is. And honestly I think that's very gender.

(Plus the skeletal system way of recognizing people doesn't really account for things like people being assigned female at birth but they really have male internal anatomy. Or women who may develop "masculine" skeletal structures because they have PCOS which causes them to produce a high amount of testosterone. It's estimated 6% of women have PCOS.)

This post is for systems whose plurality is due to or influenced by autism, psychosis, schizophrenia, or other psychological disorders. Whether or not your system is disordered, it’s common to be neurodivergent in more ways than one!

🌻 Shoutout to systems with complex dissociative disorders whose trauma stems from being mistreated or misunderstood due to a psychological disorder! 🌻

🌿 Shoutout to systems who formed consciously or unconsciously to cope with their other disorders! 🌿

🌱 Shoutout to systems who use xeno origin labels like autigenic, hallucigenic, psygenic, scizogenic, and more to describe their system! 🌱

🪷 Shoutout to systems whose plurality exacerbates symptoms of their other disorders! 🪷

🍀 Shoutout to systems who struggled to figure out if they were plural due to their psychological disorders! 🍀

🌷Shoutout to singlets who spent time thinking they were plural because of the symptoms of their other disorders! 🌷

🍃 Shoutout to systems who struggled to recognize their plurality due to them experiencing reality different from neurotypical people! 🍃

Brains are so diverse and complex, and no two people experience plurality the same way! Whether your system brings you relief or causes you more distress, please know you are a welcome and important part of the plural community.

We hope y’all can flourish and grow as a system as you learn more about yourselves and learn how to navigate the world with your psychological disorders! It’s not easy to exist as a neurodivergent system in a neurotypical singlets’ world. We just want y’all to know that we see you, we’re here for you, we relate to your struggles, and we wish you the very best!
