ofc we meme the shit out of it. doesnt mean the disorder's fun. and it doesnt need to be. its a shit disorder thats literally from needing to survive a shitty situation. its doing its job.
and yes it is part of your identity but it is not an identity. its not like a gender or sexuality. its like having brown hair or green eyes. simply a defining characteristic of your identity.
why tf do endos treat being a system like its an identity that you can pick and choose to label? why do they constantly push the transphobic rhetoric of using "traumascum" to refer to traumatized individuals that just dont want people to treat their symptoms like its fun?
being plural/being a system is nothing like being lgbtq+ and i really think we need to stop treating it as such
yes we are a community, but this community is one formed on the basis of being traumatized as kids, its not based on something we choose to refer to ourselves as
we need to be there to support each other but not blindly. we need to help spread information to others with the symptoms so they can receive help.
you wouldnt treat people with personality disorders the way you treat systems so why is it acceptable to treat systems this way?
