 We also wrote out the survey results if anyone's interested in those. lol I guess Our footnotes are just gonna show up b/c We can't figure out how to nest them oh well:

[2] The pronouns “you&” and “your&” are grammatical constructs created in DID, OSDD, non-disordered, and non-traumagenic system spaces to indicate acknowledgement of multiple individuals being addressed. I have written it in parentheses in the questions to avoid excluding/biasing those who do not feel themselves to be multiple people.

[3] A word invented in the system spaces described above, used interchangeably with “alters” but in a manner seen as less pathologizing

[4] This option was included in some questions in keeping with the notion that alters may have differing opinions

[5] This question received many more responses than there were “yes” responses to question 3, possibly due to ambiguous wording and/or the question appearing to be mandatory due to lack of inclusion of a “non-applicable” option. This oversight renders the data here largely unusable, excepting the “yes” response; it is assumed that this response was an intentional endorsement of the paradigm discussed and has been cited in the essay.

trying soooo hard not to turn half this paper (about DID and how alters should be seen as individual people and not parts) into a Big Angry Rant about how the ideas that healing=integration and healthy=singlet are based in a bullshit singletist social construction b/c they've decided that having more than one mind per body is ~uwu scary and unhealthy uwu~ so they have to constrain the existence of multiplicity to just being seen as disordered and then only treat that disorder by integration
b/c the ultimate goal is to stop having multiples exist b/c we're too Weird.
ick.

I mostly just wanted to rant here about this essay We're writing for class, the one We did the survey for. also We've been getting very helpful results from that--thanks to those who have contributed! We're done with the paper on the 12th of December (or We'd better be--ack!) so We'll post it and the suvery results here and on Tumblr then. We might also try to get it published in some online magazines We know.
So We gave a presentation about the paper on Monday that went over extremely well--people actually listened to Us about how DID alters should be treated as people!! Neither of Us had expected that may people would accept Our argument, but even the psych majors were at least open to the idea! plus We introduced a few people to LB Lee's stuff (We're gonna cite one of their comics as a source!!) so it was a very successful day.
but now We're in the process of writing a review of the literature for it and it involves the debate between the sociocognitive model (those who think DID is iatrogenic) and those who defend DID as an actual thing that exists. unfortunately that means that one of Our most reliable sources for countering the sociocognitive model is Colin fucking Ross who is just trash. I can't believe We have to use his work like he's a reputable source for anything, but there it is.
ughghghgh academia.
