stop using DID, traumagenic, and disordered interchangeably. just stop. please.

DID = dissociative identity disorder (which is not always traumagenic)
traumagenic = formed by trauma
disordered = from/heavily affected by any disorder (not just OSDDID)

when you conflate them you’re, intentionally or not, contributing to medicalist rhetoric and kind of being a dick.

this includes directing questions that pertain to any dissociative system at “traumagenic systems,” or asking general plurality questions while for no real reason only allowing systems with DID to respond. be thoughtful with who you name and exclude, and make sure you’re saying what you need instead of repeating the mistakes of #dissociatwt over here

i mean i don’t even like how normalized the traumagenic label is but that’s for another day (though LB Lee has a post on it that explains it well).
