I need to get off TikTok 😭
Someone sent this to me and instantly blocked me 😭
I’m not really gonna talk about this much but “I’m not a system at all do a google search or smth” is wilddddd.

another gem from TikTok
So I wouldn’t mind this take if it was just asking people to use a different word, but they’re just claiming no one can feel sensations of limbs they don’t physically have because of therianthropy which I think is pretty stupid.
There’s been studies on phantom genitalia in transgender people (i.e. a transgender man having a phantom sensation of a penis before bottom surgery). It’s obviously not the same since from what I’ve read it typically doesn’t hurt, but if doctors use the word “phantom” to describe what transgender people are experiencing, I don’t see why it would be different for therianthropes. Of course the difference is they refuse to believe therians’ experiences because it’s out of the ordinary.
Personally as a nonhuman headmate, I’ve “felt it”. It does in fact hurt sometimes. Even if I’m just gaslighting myself or wtv I can still fucking feel it. Obviously not the same thing as being a therian but I feel like we share some experiences.
Also calling someone’s identity “nonexistent” is wild.
Sorry if this is incomprehensible I wrote this at like 2 am…

tumblr strikes again
before i start, this is a pretty popular tumblr blog so PLEASE don't send any hate if you recognize their post format.
basically, it's a blog dedicated to posting peoples' problems with their fandom, but they've posted multiple submissions like this that are just fakeclaiming people. don't entirely see how this is a fandom problem, but hey, whatever gets your blog attention I guess...
first of all, the otherkin thing. the way we see species in a non-scientific context is very subjective. if you truly believe an otherkin is human, i guess i can't change your mind, but don't just come out and say it especially since many otherkin have species dysphoria. it's just a dick move. if someone intentionally called me (a ghost headmate) "alive" on purpose, they're getting blocked.
second, everyone who has DID is faking but also they're taking away resources? if everyone with DID is faking, who exactly are they taking resources from? regardless, anyone who fakes a mental disorder is struggling in some way. no one healthy wants to pretend to be miserable. people with milder mental illnesses aren't taking away resources from people with more severe mental illness for seeking treatment or just existing.
"just because you have OCs/fictional characters (read: headmates) doesn't make you mentally ill" CORRECT! however, if you do have sentient beings (plural) in your head that does kinda make you a system. not necessarily a disordered one, but a system. either way, most non-disordered systems in my experience are mentally ill in other ways so you're basically fakeclaiming the mental disorders they actually have.
also, i'm assuming by "OCs" they mean brainmades, not OC fictives... so I guess systems that aren't entirely factives don't exist guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess i'm not real then/s

I HATE being against the self diagnosing of autism and its mischaracterization
Let me just say as an autistic person who’s been diagnosed since I was four that SELF DIAGNOSING IS VALID because not everyone has the same access to mental health resources.
I’ve never personally had to self diagnose with anything, (although I do suspect some conditions I’m not diagnosed with), so I’m not the best person to speak on this, but OOP is just contradicting themself. “This is about the people that self diagnose after experiencing the most normal day to day life things ever” and “SELF DIAGNOSING IS NOT VALID.” Like at one point they’re saying self diagnosing is valid sometimes and at another point they’re not? I’m confused.
Also note the sexism (“since it’s usually the basic bitches with no personality”). We really should have a sexism flair here, it’s way too common.
