Similarities to Trans Gatekeepers (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Ever since realizing I'm plural, it sucks seeing plural people in my discord chats have "Self-ID Systems DNI" because it reminds me of when I had to deal with trans meds (also called truscum). There's a lot of stigma so it never crossed my mind to check with a doctor for DID.

The others (alters) are very mindful so there were only a few moments when I caught them controlling the body. It feels like other people think I'm faking because it's not all doom and gloom. I'm actually happy being plural and we're all very close.

I remember being on trans forums where people would lash out at trans people who didn't hate being trans. It feels very similar sometimes to being plural. I'm just used to us figuring everything out by ourselves and the others are pretty smart so they almost always know what's going on before I do.

We once met a system medicalist offline, she was very angry at us for bringing up anything but DID etc systems as she seemed to have a lot of trauma and thus investment in only medicalised pluraity being the only types of valid plurality.

Thankfully we haven't really met any online.

We didn't reveal we are plural to her, thankfully, but it did force us to come out to a friend about it, so we could explain that we did, in fact, know what we were talking about as apparently the system medicalist then ranted about it on facebook.

She was also a transmedicalist and wanted stronger gatekeeping too, but because of trauma as well, ugh.

We are glad we never really ran into that plural group again as she wasn't that nice of a person in general.
