[from behind my hand] Get a load in this guy
people have got to get normaler about systems
- no we are not going to kill anyone
- introjects aren't literally blorbo from your show and expecting them to act exactly the same as blorbo is weird
- u cant just demand someone else fronts it's rude and weird. also talking to a system isn't really a choose your own adventure type of thing
- no there isn't an "evil alter"
- persecutor alters do exist and are common but they arent evil alters and should be treated with the same respect youd treat anyone else
- some systems have like 2 or 3 members and others have hundreds. its generally not ur business why a system has the amount of alters they do
- u arent entitled to know whos fronting 24/7. a lot of systems dont even always know whos fronting let alone want to share
- switching is often not obvious or dramatic at all. it can be but generally it's not.though it does depend if someone has a more overt or covert presentation
- did isnt actually that rare. around 1.5% of people are diagnosed with did and it goes undiagnosed a lot. and 1.5% is around the same amount of people who have red hair or ocd or green eyes
- you have absolutely no way of knowing if someone is "faking" or lying about being a system. "what about-" nope not even if they do that. almost everything that people claim make it obvious someones lying (nonhuman alters, bigger systems, overt presentation etc) are just... ways that systems exist. ur not in their head, u dont get to decide what theyre experiencing
- no we arent possessed
- yes it is a real disorder
- I am not "hiding" from you judt because o haven't fronted around you
- I'm not telling you my name because I'm an asshole, I literally don't know who I am right now
- please don't ask us to switch on command like it is a magic trick
- Please stop treating horror movie characters with DID as the pinnacle of representation. You know exactly which movies I'm talking about
- Once again stop expecting Introjects to act exactly like your blorbo
You have to be willing to sit through horrible albums sometimes to look for new music and you might find it impossible but it’s what makes life worth living to me. it takes the discipline of a warrior to be a true music lover not everyone can survive it
That’s literally god seeping into you

People who don’t do or create shit are always the most critical because they have no frame of reference. They severely underestimate how much energy it takes, how much fear and other psychic burdens need to be overcome, the sheer amount of relentless persistence, faith and self-belief it takes to put something, no matter how feeble and shitty, out in to the world.
It seems so easy just looking. “I could do that”. “I could’ve made that”. Well then do it. Look at the most feeble and easy looking creative work and then replicate it in your own way. And with no irony or hiding or joking- in all sincerity put your name on it - and show it to others. People you know in real life. As a representation of yourself. See how it feels. You’ll have a new appreciation and softness towards creative friends and strangers.

I don’t think you can fully understand transmisogyny without understanding how it’s weaponized against cis Black women.
When you find a transmisogynist you’ve found a racist who will use their ideals of the “normative female body” to demean and denigrate Black women. For years it was a popular right wing rumor/conspiracy/dick move to refer to Michelle Obama as a “tranny” and more recently sports organizations have repeatedly excluded cis Black women for not having “normative” hormone levels. Transmisogyny and antiblackness go hand in hand.
Racist white trans women love misconstruing this post by claiming that this post suggests, implies or explicitly states that cis (Black) women are experts over trans women on the experience of transmisogyny, or should be the main focus of our analysis of transmisogyny over trans women. I never said this.
TERFs love misconstruing this post by claiming that this post suggests, implies or explicitly states that Black women are masculine or the same as men. You know this is a lie with no basis in my original post that you’re conveniently telling.
All this very short, very simple, very direct and very explicit post means is that white supremacist patriarchy racializes and genders Black women as outside of ‘normative’ (white) womanhood through what feminist Maria Lugones referred to as “the coloniality of gender,” and that there’s a direct connection between the degendering of trans women and the degendering of Black women as they are done by the same exact people policing the same boundaries of gender.
You can refuse to see the connections between transmisogyny and misogynoir if you want but that wouldn’t change the facts - that discrimination, gendered violence and murder are disproportionately directed towards cis and trans Black women and that both groups are excluded by settler colonial capitalist-imperialist patriarchy from the category of womanhood.
Why are trans women and Black women excluded from womanhood under the logics of biological difference? Who is doing either exclusion? It’s primarily men and their handmaidens in the patriarchy who came up with the ideology of biological difference to justify and naturalize the relations of patriarchy and racism.
I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this but reactionaries and patriarchs share in common their beliefs of racial supremacy and transmisogyny. The same people discriminating against and killing trans women are the same discriminating against and killing Black women. It’s literally the same exact people, just look at Florida for fucks sake. Florida is advancing white supremacy and transphobia and transmisogyny at the same exact time. White supremacists and religious conservatives are racist and transphobic and transmisogynist. These are not coincidences.
