i think it’s cool that you feel comfortable enough with yourself to speak about this and the nuances of such a concept, but i’m afraid that i’m not the person to come to about it, haha
i know that there are some people in the proship community who are more involved in the system side of things, like @doctor-darling , but i am not a system so i don’t really think it’s my place to comment
that, and to be honest, system and transid stuff makes me uncomfortable. i don’t understand it — systems make sense from a trauma or mental disorder stand point, i suppose, but i have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. i’ve met plenty of systems who engage with me in good-faith questions, but it’s still not something that i can properly grasp. so i do my best to just be respectful and not step on any toes 🙂
i’d prefer to not have anything to do with drama in these communities in the future. there’s definitely stuff there that warrants a discussion, but i don’t think that i’m gonna be the one to talk about it
Thanks for tagging us in this discussion, because it’s really interesting.
To be honest, as a system we don’t “get” the transid community ourselves– it wasn’t something that existed when we were starting to understand ourselves as a system, and its not something that we’ve done a lot of research on; its something that makes us uncomfortable like @things-antis-say too.
We have system members who are different ages than the body, different races than the body, are disabled in ways that the body isn’t disabled, but we don’t consider ourselves transracial, transage, or transabled.
That’s just not the way our internal perception of ourselves works with the body. We have trouble conceptualizing what the benefit of calling ourselves any of those things would be. We’re not looking to speak in any of those communities, since that isn’t our experience of life in this world.
Maybe its because we’re fictionkin, and a spiritual system, rather than an psychological DID based system? but we come from the fictionkin community where the idea of asking to be treated as your kintype’s race outside of specifically kin spaces, for instance, is a pretty big taboo. I, Toko, have been Japanese, but my experience of being Japanese happened in another universe and isn’t really relevant here. There are some discussions about Japan and Japanese culture I’ll jump in on, but always as an interested and educted foreigner, because my actual lived-experience of being Japanese is not relevant to this universe.
I actually don’t know enough about the transid community to know if they’re primarily made of of plural systems, or of fictionkin, or some other community, and I don’t know what their goals or aims are, so I can’t really even say if what I’m talking about here is even relevant..
They’re doing it because it isn’t Progressive anymore to inform someone they’re going to burn in hell. They want the serotonin high of being Morally Pure And Going To Heaven, without the backlash. Going to therapy is still stigmatized enough that these people STILL seem to think it will just “fix” someone (aka like conversion therapy), and therefore it feels like a good thing to yell at someone who isn’t “normal” enough.
that’s 👏🏽 not 👏🏽 how 👏🏽 therapy 👏🏽 works 👏🏽
therapy doesn’t magically “cure” things you don’t personally like about the person you’re having an internet argument with. what therapy actually does is teach coping mechanisms right for you personally to live comfortably and happily. these guys are idiots.
but no matter how often we say it, these people won’t listen bro
“Go to therapy” is when they’re firing their “normal ray” at us! pew pew!! 🔫
Seriously people, like if you’re gonna pretend to be left-leaning the least you can do is maybe not talk to a transgender person like a conservative during the aids crisis as your go-to. Not a good look. Don’t care if you’re ALSO in the LGBTQ+ community, that shit’s just inexcusable.
Oh nooooo, they know how to talk to me like a southern Baptist preacher AND they go on anon to block evade! Whatever shall I, a damaged autistic pervert with no morals, ever d– LMAO just kidding. Extra blocked, get bent, bye.
can’t believe the “kill the cop inside your brain by thinking about fentanyl” post resulted in a bunch of jerks sending you anons and pulling this crap, like y’all need to think about fentanyl harder jfc
Pfffffff didn’t even see that other one. Adding to the block list. Hilarious.
Also, no one tell them that I’m literally not 30. It’s funny to me when they’re like ADULTS SHOULD NOT LIKE THINGS while talking to me, since I’m not actually as old as this body is. And the body isn’t 30 either. I think the 26 year old is projecting their insecurities about getting older on the “28 year old”.
ikr?? they just went “okay but what if we just lied about your age to make it sound more cringey for our brain cops”, they are projecting.
And also sounding more and more like middle schoolers.
TAKING ALL BETS! What’s next, a Yo Mama joke, or a reference to Fortnite?
