As a part of the new tumblr beta feature Communities, we've been approved for one of our very own - And I would love your help building this Fully Inclusive Plural Community with me! 💜

The infrastructure is still being developed, so there's some bugs and built in restrictions - We can only invite about 20 more people in right now, only main blogs, no sideblogs, sorry. This also means I'll be posting there from my main @afaintcloudyhaze :)

If you're interested in joining, please let me know in a reply to this post from your main blog. The only requirement is that you feel a connection to plurality and you want to contribute to the conversation about it.

A fun fact to anti endos who I know probably scroll these tags!

Someone you think is anti endo, too, could be endogenic themselves! We would know, we have anti endo friends we made before realizing our origins! We love them deeply though and just play the part instead of losing them. That doesn't make us any less non multigenic now does it? Exactly >:)

do you think plurality will become widely accepted any time soon? i fear that my plurality will have to be hidden from most people my whole life. i wish i could tell our parents but i feel like they would immediately take me to a mental hospital..

i wish plural education could move faster lol

Widely accepted? I wouldn't count on it anytime soon. Sorry.

As Ghandi never said: "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win”

While the quote isn't from Ghandi, it is still a pretty accurate one for how movements tend to go. And the problem is, we're still in the ignoring stage with a side of mockery.

Before we can get widespread acceptance, we need widespread awareness. And when we get widespread awareness, the biggest roadblock we'll encounter is direct opposition. Because then we'll be a threat. We'll be trying to change things. We'll be demanding our headmates be acknowledged as individuals and called by their names, and that's going to make certain people, especially on the Right, extremely uncomfortable. I'm sorry to say that they will lash out.

When Tulpamancers are being smeared not by randos on Tumblr or r/systemscringe, but by Sean Hannity, that's when you can know that the real fight for plural acceptance has started. And everything we've gone through before that has just been a prelude.

And then it will probably drag out for years after that.

But while that prospect is scary, I think it will be necessary for getting to where we need to be.

...

But just because society isn't there yet and won't be for a while, that doesn't mean your parents won't be. Plenty of people have come out to their parents successfully. Others came out unsuccessfully, and then their parents warmed up to the idea later.

I would advise waiting until you're an adult if you aren't already, because parents have a lot of power over minors in their care, and things could go very badly. Best not come out, if you think they would react badly, while they have power over you. Additionally, I don't know if your system is traumagenic or not, but if it is, coming out to parents who may have been involved in that is probably a bad idea. Caution is advised.

...

One more thing, while that quote wasn't from Gandhi, I really love the speech it's believed to have originated from.

Plural acceptance may not come quick! It may not come easy! But it will come, and we are all a part of it just by being here and being ourselves!

The future is plural!

No matter how far off that future may seem!

personally we really dislike being part of a system, we all kinda wish we had our own individual bodies and that having to share a brain with others, especially knowing half of us don’t get along, is something that we wish we didn’t have to do.

we wish this wasn’t our reality.

i see very few systems talk about feeling this way publicly, but this is how we feel about it.

helloooo hi. wanted to make a positivity post for systems that relates to. gender.

— shoutout to systems who are trans as part of their collective identity or masking identity!

— shoutout to systems where most alters have different genders!

— shoutout to alters whos perception of their gender doesn't match their outerworld body!

— shoutout to levian/eclian/azlian alters!

— shoutout to introjects with different gender than their source!

— shoutout to alters who showed up identifying as one gender, but later identified as another, for any reason at all!

— shoutout to alters who identity as more than one gender!

— shoutout to alters with no gender!

— shoutout to alters with genders others have a hard time understanding!

— shoutout to trans alters in general!

— shoutout to non-human alters whose non-humanity affects their gender!

— shoutout to systems and alters whos plurality affects their gender in any way!

— shoutout to systems who can't express or talk about their gender because they aren't out!

— shoutout to alters who are the only alter of a specific gender in their system!

— shoutout to systems and alters who use more obscure labels to describe their gender!

— shoutout to systems and alters who coin their own terms to talk about their gender!

hope you enjoyed :D gender is a personal topic to me as im eclian/ecligender myself, and thats... quite a difficult label to describe to singlets, methinks. i hope this post was able to make you smile today!

I've seen a few systems express recently that they're not anti-endos but they don't think it's possible to be endo because it's not possible to not have trauma. They see trauma as something that happens to everyone and often goes unnoticed. Definitely agree with the unnoticed part. I'm glad these systems don't let their opinion make them hateful. But I want to challenge that idea a bit, that everyone is traumatized so all systems are traumagenic.

First off, traumagenic doesn't mean "has lived through trauma". It means "is that way because of trauma". Trauma is the cause. Many endos have trauma and can recognize it and work through it. They just don't think it's why they're a system.

And second, if they really believe any system who's had trauma is traumagenic, I wanna ask them: do they think of singlets the same way? Surely singlets also have trauma so by that logic they should also be traumagenic. Right? What about autism, trans identity, introversion, synesthesia? I can make the same argument with these. If you follow the logic of "everyone is traumatized" + "if you're traumatized you're traumagenic", then you know... you get autism is traumagenic and gender identity is traumagenic. By that logic I can justify brown hair as being traumagenic!

I see so much worry and concerns about systems not identifying as traumagenic or traumatized, yet I don't see that concern for other groups who by that logic are also all traumatized and in denial.

This is exactly my issue with this mentality! I've even seen people claim that being born is traumatic to say that even protogenic systems are also traumagenic. And that's just... that's not how any of this works...

I'll also add that I feel this is bad for actual trauma survivors because it's stretching the definition of trauma to an absurd degree and devalues the very concept of trauma, to the point where it's being forced on people who don't identify as traumatized and have no history of PTSD-like symptoms.

To put this another way...

Trauma holder culture is basically being a 24/7 panic attack program running in the background no matter who’s fronting

Here’s my metaphor for systemhood that I tell my singlet friends.

Imagine you’re playing a first person video game. You have the controller, you control your character. It’s a normal first person game. You are an alter, the character is the body. This is fronting.

Other people live with you. Sometimes, they come into the room and sit and watch while you play. They sometimes try to guide you, give you advice on what to do next. They don’t always agree, and they can argue with each other. Other times they scream at you that you’re doing everything wrong and you suck at this game. This is co-consciousness.

Imagine how distracting it would be for people around you to tell you what to do, or to scream at each other or at you, even if they have good intentions. It wouldn’t be easy to focus on your game, would it?

Then sometimes, something happens in the game that prompts you to hand off the controller to someone else so they can play and you get a break. This is (some types of) switching. This can be good.

Other times, someone rips the controller out of your hand or fights you for it. This is (other types of) switching. And sometimes, six other players hook up their controllers, but there’s only one character to play as. So all of you have your controllers, but you’re all trying to play the same character. This is cofronting.

Imagine how difficult that would be. Imagine how hard it would be to try and play a game while someone is trying to take the controller from you, or while six other people are trying to play too.

There are also times that nobody is playing, or you can’t decide who should play. What’s happening to the character in the game? What are they doing if no one is playing? This is dissociation. The character is doing nothing. They’re stuck.

This is the best metaphor I have come up with for being a system. It’s something a lot of people get because they’ve played games before.
