Saw An Anon Somewhere Else Make A Great Point And We Wanted To Elaborate On It:

Saw an anon somewhere else make a great point and we wanted to elaborate on it:

There should NOT be the hard lines between concepts of traumagenesis and endogenesis that currently exist in the plural community. There's a ton of overlap between the two in reality, and it's a little disconcerting that while "endogenic" is very explicitly an umbrella term, "traumagenic" is constantly considered a singular origin with no leeway, and anything not labeled specifically with that word (EVEN when the definition explains trauma is involved) is thrown under "endo" by medicalists & anti-endos.

Have people not come around to the understanding that "traumagenic" is also an umbrella term? That there are many, many ways for a system to be traumagenic, and sometimes those ways entangle inseparably from other origins? Has no thought gone to the autigenic-identifying system whose plurality came from masking trauma? To the soulbonder that connected with their companion out of desperate isolation and pain? If it were not for the manufactured divide claiming "traumagenic" as singular and separate, there would be a wide range of terminology and conceptions to describe the various ways one can be traumagenic, and it'd be a dramatic boon to the traumagenic plural & CDD communities.

Instead, we're severely lacking in a significant point of plural understanding because of the lateral aggression around here, and it's extremely damaging to our progress as a marginalized group attempting to make our voices heard and understood. How can we articulate the way traumagenesis and endogenesis intertwine and contrast if we're too afraid to even look?

The origin binary in the plural community needs to end. If "endogenic" can have many specific origins fall under it then so can "traumagenic".

I didn’t choose to be a plural but it doesn’t mean others cant. Our system was caused by trauma but it doesn’t mean others were. We have a cdd but it doesn’t mean every plural does

Its simple really

Sometimes I think of how we went from the simple little line “you’re gonna love my boyfriend” in Paranorman (2012) which felt groundbreaking in children’s media at the time (and ticked off a fair number of people who consider lgbt+ content too ‘adult’ for children asfsdf)

To actual gay weddings in Steven Universe and Arthur, to openly gay and affectionate dads in She-Ra…

Progress for lgbt+ representation is slow and there’s always backlash and opposition. But it feels like there’s hope and I’m so happy lgbt+ and queer kids get to see themselves in media.

Confirmed staff is deleting posts of people upset/questioning their decisions. I really thought that with the updated uma system I would be fully returning to fr but if this is how they're treating the community then... Fuck. I don't know.

I've got so many gems in the vault and I want to just give it all away and never come back.

Tysm for the dragon! We realized flair has maroon tips on some breeds so started with that. It's most noticeable on aether so we chose to go for that breed. This is what the scry ended up looking like

It's giving The Color Out of Space and I love it. I love how funky they are

Unfortunately we're out of money since shadow dominance just happened and we went on a shopping spree so they'll have to wait a while for their genes.

Yay! Brewed an egg so I'm gonna hatch it because I feel like I'm going to implode from the amount of anxiety I'm feeling right now. Egg save me, please, egg.
