Just wanna say, this blog and our system blog supports (@the-frog-pond) non-traumagenic systems. We are a system that has experienced trauma. We are still experiencing traumatic stuff. But trauma isnt the only reason members formed in this system. And DID/OSDD arent trauma disorders, they're dissociative. Yes, trauma is one cause, but not the only. Systems that formed without trauma are still systems. Systems that formed from trauma are still systems.
We shouldn't be fighting eachother. We should be banding together to bring more awareness to plurality in general and make it accepted in society. We should be working together to help destigmatize plurality. We should participate if possible in studies about plurality. We should accept and encourage research, whether we like the findings or not. Science is always changing, and that's a good thing. There was a time DID was called MPD. There was a time depression, gender dysphoria, npd, all of that was seen as evil. And there are still people who believe mental illness isn't real.
We should be a community.
I encourage everyone who reads this to look into the most recent findings on plurality and also to read the DSM-5 and its definition of DID and OSDD (and other dissociative disorders)
And remember, science and people change. Its okay to admit you were wrong. Its ok to admit the science was wrong. Change is good and we shouldn't fear it
