Reading about the history on DID. An introspective from a plural system. (This is just a rant)

EDIT: I've been informed that the author of the doc, LB Lee, has spread misinformation on this topic. I genuinely didn't know this, so proceed with that information in mind.

We've been doing *readings* on DID and plurality and endogenic plurality and where the discourse even began and... oufffff. Yeah it's a mess. An absolute mess. From people discussing natural multiplicity to the creation of Multiple Personality Disorder (that is more like what non disordered plurality looks like), to the foundation of help-therapy groups or support groups. Then they change MPD to DID after lots of reports. There comes the divide, some plurals were experiencing it naturally, to those experiencing it because of trauma, to the infighting in the community...

They created support groups, but some people were experiencing plurality in a different way from those participating on those groups. So those with MPD created their own space to discuss only dissociative disorders. And thus the separation began, because some people came to the group thinking it was for multiples/plurals, bc the group advertised itself as that, only to find they were only talking about MPD/DID.

So those who were not experiencing symptoms of those disorders or didn't have trauma left and created their own spaces. Neat, right? Well, no. Soulbonders came along, and it complicated the narrative even more, as plurals started mocking this community, accusing thrm of comparing their experiences to fiction. And thus the narrative us vs them began! Yay!

It's funny bc the article calls it The Genic slapfight which is not wrong. Traumagenic and endogenic terms are born blah blah blah we know the rest.

Oughhh. At first they were like "hey, plural people exist" and then they are like "okay, but why does it happen?" and then they see that some of them have trauma and experience dissociation, so they are like "okay so this group doesn't want to be multiple, we need to treat is as a traumatic disorder", but then another part of the group is like "hey, we didn't form because of trauma", and then they divide natural multiplicity and plurals without trauma.

From what we've seen, this whole syscourse benefits no-one. Professionals don't even care for your personal infighting on tumblr.com. Most of them don't even believe DID even exists, so why bother fighting others?

'Endos are spreading misinformation!' To where?!? To tumblr? To reddit? Ah yes professionals are going to look at that. Why does it affect you?? You are already diagnosed, aren't you?!

'Endos take away resources from DID systems!' What resources?!? Which ones? How??? Resources are not finite.

'Bc of plurality and fake systems, professionals won't take us seriously!' Mate, I don't think they are looking at online discourse to determine that.

I'm just tired of all this in-fighting. You wanted separated spaces, so stick to it. I'll link the web on plural history if anyone else wants to read it for themselves.
