Gentle reminder to all my neurodivergent followers: medications and therapy do not make you less spiritual, less magical, or less witchy.
You are valid and your practices are valid. I'm proud of you.

I think that a major part of anti-intellectualism is the idea that science is a book of facts, a collection of knowledge. I've seen so many times when someone pointed at a time scientific consensus or a specific notable scientist has been wrong, or something scientists don't have the answer to yet, as a reason science can't be trusted.
But science isn't an unerring book of facts that can't be changed like a religious text. It's a method of understanding the world through experimentation and analysis, of putting your picture of how the world works to the test and seeing if it measures up.
And it's very telling that a lot of groups, from right-wing Christians to new-age crystal healers, demonize a process dedicated to putting your beliefs to the test.

i was scrolling r/SC and its weird the mods are saying you arent responding to their modmail responses and claiming you are "threatening sub members". I have seen no evidence of this anywhere.
Ive seen the odd claims that somehow you are only citing older DSM sources because it "supports your narrative" but then they dont read the criteria for how vague it actually is. Nothing you have show has supported the sysmed claims and I have a degree! I've studied this for more then 6 years and I'm licensed! It's vague for a reason.
The mods there seem to think that our life should revolve around them just because I sent a message to them asking them to remove a post mentioning my name and age. I have asks in my box, and other posts I want to make. I got what I wanted from that conversation, which was proof that I reached out to them to ask them to remove comments naming me. I might respond further if I find the time and the interest. But I haven't yet decided.
As for threatening members of the subreddit... I really have no idea what they're talking about. If anyone there has received any actual threats, it wasn't from me.
I think either they're making things up, or are taking some sort of statement that I'll continue to post about their hate sub as a "threat."
I don't have any idea what they're talking about with citing older DSM entries either. I rarely discuss the DSM, and when I do, it's almost always the DSM-5.
I prefer the ICD-11 as my go-to source, as it explicitly acknowledges that you can have multiple "distinct personality states" without a disorder.
Furthermore, most of the published papers researching and acknowledging endogenic plurality that I cite have all come out within the past decade.
Varieties of Tulpa Experiences: 2016
The Plurality chapter of Transgender Mental Health: 2018
The ICD-11's Boundary With Normality for DID: 2019
Exploring the Utility and Personal Relevance of Co-Produced Multiplicity Resources with Young People: 2021
Conceptualizing multiplicity spectrum experiences: A systematic review and thematic synthesis: 2023
It's just a body: A community-based participatory exploration of the experiences and health care needs for transgender plural people: 2023
And many others.
Practically the only time I cite the DSM is when debunking people falsely claiming the DSM says you need trauma to be a system.
Otherwise, I generally don't consider it that relevant. It never claims you need trauma to be a system. It acknowledges possession states as real phenomena. And the existence of criterion C implies you can meet the other criteria without a disorder. But I feel there are better sources out there to use.
Like you say, it's vague. Despite leaning towards the existence of non-disordered and endogenic plurality, it doesn't go far enough to make it valuable for me.
I'm certainly not going to use older versions of the DSM as sources.
But yeah, there really is nothing to back up their claims. I've been asking anti-endos for years for even ONE single peer-reviewed paper stating that you can't be plural without trauma or a disorder. Just one.
Because I can name countless reputable psychologists and psychiatrists who have made it clear they believe in other forms of plurality in peer-reviewed papers from reputable publishers. I've seen others who are open to the possibility but seem neutral for no other reason than the fact their specialization is in trauma disorders, and they don't deal with people who aren't traumatized or don't have mental illnesses of some kind.
What I have never once seen is a single anti-endo provide a peer-reviewed source stating that you can't possibly be plural without trauma. And I mean this with any wording. It doesn't have to say "plural" or "system," as long as it communicates that this is the only possible way to have multiple self-conscious agents in your head.
See, for example, how the creators of the theory of structural dissociation have said in one paper that "self-conscious" "dissociated parts of the personality" may be involved in mediumship and hypnosis.
In the years I've been asking for this, not one person has been able to link to a peer reviewed source where a psychiatrist or psychologist has stated the opposite.
All they have on their side is The Big Lie. I've talked about this recently. Just repeat a claim over and over again until people believe it. Claim the experts support and agree with you, and you never need to source any of those non-existent experts. That's what r/systemscringe, and sysmeds in general, are depending on. That their members will be gullible enough to just accept whatever they say.

it won't let me reblog it for some reason, but I want to put this shit out in the open.
Fuck you, OP. Holy shit fuck you so fucking much I hate you.
I have to go on a diet all by my fucking self and try and scrap healthy food together in my house, which is hard to do beyond words because my parents have a fucking junk food addiction.
And rather that being mature adults and taking care of their children, can you take a guess as to what they do? That's right! They push this stupid fucking addiction onto me and my siblings.
Health food is an actual fucking TREAT for us. And my parents make fun of me when I want good food. "Oh ArE yOu On A DiEt? YoUrE ToO YoUnG."
Yeah. I AM too young to need to go on a diet. That's the fucking issue. You should be taking fucking care of me. But you're not, so I have to do it myself. I REFUSE to live like you people. I'll fucking STARVE before I get that big again, and I wasn't nearly as big as some people. It didn't look like it, but my health was SUFFERING. I was hurting and I had no fucking idea until I got smaller because I was USED to the health issues. Fucking gross.
It's child abuse to force your bad habits onto your children.
Disrespectfully, fuck you OP.

How difficult is it to respect someone for their work without falling into idolatry?
They are human beings, they can also make mistakes.
If you love them, then realize that you hurt them by idolizing them, you make them live in a bubble. And you feed their narcissism that prevents them from evaluating themselves. Respect them as just another human being.
They are not your friends or family, nor do they know you, stop giving cringe and have self-esteem.
There may be a link, but it depends on who is being talked to. In the end, the people who idolize are narcissistic, they project themselves.
They have no individuality, and if the person they idolize does horrible acts against another person, narcissistic fans will justify it because they project themselves.
And this can also happen with people who are not famous. between toxic friendships, co-dependent relationships and between family members. (who see their parents as the solution to all their problems or the culprits of all problems or parents who idolize their children and make them a narcissist).
In conclusion, everything that is extreme, the obsessive is toxic.
It's a matter of realizing fandoms or politics. They are the same people.

People who think religion and science shouldn't interact are weird.
Studies of plurality in religion and spirituality would fall in the realm of psychological anthropology, investigating how cultures can affect the human mind, and differences between them.
Acting like a field isn't real science because it's studying religion erases the incredible work conducted by researchers in the field.
