Question one - Yes. Yes, we do. No nuance here really. Question two - it's not cultural appropriation. Question three - Do you think endos just don't remember their trauma - It's definitely possible to not remember your trauma and think you're endogenic. It's definitely also possible to convince yourself you have trauma that you don't have because someone told you your symptoms could only be caused by trauma. people should listen to endogenic systems about what caused them to be plural because they are the ultimate authority on their specific system. Question four - Opinion on shared spaces - Traumagenic systems are going to eventually have to accept that endogenic systems exist. You can't just avoid a whole category of people completely because you don't like the fact that they exist. (this does not apply to actual bigots but being an endogenic system is not a commentary on traumagenics) that said, there should be spaces for people with CDDs that are exclusive to CDD havers. LIKEWISE, there should be spaces for endogenic systems and plurals that are only for endogenic systems AND spaces for tulpamancers and tulpas (in general, created systems that used to be singlets) that are specifically for them Question five - Do you think endogenic plurality is comparable to transX - no. transplural is a specific identity on its own and not comparable to tulpamancy or willogenic plurality for many reasons Question six - Do you think you can have DID/OSDD/UDD without trauma - You, as far as I know, cannot have DID or OSDD-1a without trauma. There is not significant research on OSDD-1b or P-DID being associated with trauma, and UDD is a placeholder diagnosis for many dissociative disorders, at least some of which can be non-traumagenic. Question seven - Do you think introjects from other cultures should be able to use that culture's names if they aren't bodily part of it (eg. Japanese introject using Japanese names, while in a white body) - someone's name is their name. if they don't falsely claim to be from japan and don't speak over actual japanese people, they have no obligation to change their name. if they DO do that, that's bad, but they still have no obligation to change their name. Question eight - Opinion on researched self diagnosis - mental illness is a social construct and diagnosis can be dangerous. people can and should do what they want. honestly i would say it's better than official diagnosis, but people would be mad at me :| no one shares my politics on this website lol Question nine - Sysmed as a term - It's a pretty good term. Question ten - Traumascum as a term - i understand why it exists and also absolutely would not use it myself ever Question eleven - Endogenic systems using the term 'system' - I have no issue with it. Question twelve - Endogenic systems using the term 'alter' - i wouldn't use it for my headmates but if someone wants to use it for theirs that's great Question thirteen - Xeno-origins - don't know what those are
