Hello

the term endogenic was coined in 2014 by a tumblr user, this term was suggested because there was already a term that meant the same thing; natural multiplicity, but this term also suggested that DID was a disorder and unnatural. the first mention of natural multiplicity or “multiplicity without trauma” is from a webpage on the internet in the 1990s called “astreas web” the creator of astreas web claims to have “multiple personality disorder without the disorder” or natural multiplicity; the ORIGINAL endogenic system. because the creator of strayas web related to multiplicity, but didn’t relate to having disordered symptoms like flashbacks and trauma and dissociation, instead of just deciding she didn’t have the disorder, she decided that there must be a non pathological reason for this. at first strayas web had a lot of backlash, not a lot of people were impressed by that take, but eventually in 1998 a new website came out called “dark personalities”. Dark Personalities was represented as “the dark side of multiplicity”. The purpose of this site was to be a safe place for the dark and or destructive people within systems. THAT! didn’t go so well. it became infamous for being a pretty shitty place, lots of triggering triggering stuff, uncensored pages, and really unorthodox and unethical behavior on this site. so the creator of dark personalities was run by a guy who had diagnosed DID, BUT! he was “anti DID” (whatever that means) basically they were anti psychiatry, anti diagnosis, anti treatment for DID, and they decided to support the idea of non disordered plurality. they (strayas web owner and dark personalities owner) became buddies and started talking about non disordered plurality on their websites. There were two reasons this (non disordered plurality or “endogenics”) existed. One of these systems, wasn’t a system. And the other was a system that was rejecting their diagnosis and treatment. This is where, this idea of non disordered plurality came from. Two Websites. not any real sources or research, studies, or organizations.” the idea of endogenics is based in an incredibly ableist history, as demedicalizing limits those with the actual disorder from gaining accurate and life saving professional treatment. not only did astrea's web and dark personalities run an anti-d.i.d campaign where they asked people to boycott the did diagnosis, 9this meant if you were diagnosed with it you could not identify with the did diagnosis) , They also asked that people diagnosed with this disorder stop seeking treatment to get it "fixed". Not only are they anti-did they're anti-psychiatry in general, They claim that psychiatry is a tool of social control, Even claiming that some psychiatrists are part of a cult. So they are anti-diagnosis, anti-psychiatry and anti-medication, Even linking articles that promote treaing schizophrenia without medication whatsoever, Linking articles that promote people with bipolar to stop taking their medication "because it stops htem from being who they truly are", They also claim that ADHD is a made-up disease meant to control children and keep them in chemical straight jackets. not only that but they're against NAMI's mental health screenings for children and teens, Used to prevent things like suicide and help create an accurate profile of the child's mental health so they can prevent any serious disorders from coming up later in life. Instead they claim that NAMI is doing this to "promote the drug industry" and because NAMI is a "front for child molesters". They also posted articles like this which promotes the idea that integration and fusion is actually the death of alters, Which is not true at all. Integration is the lowering of amnesia walls the healing of trauma, it's super important for did systems to be able to work through their trauma to get towards something to called healthy multiplicity. After healthy multiplicity, you can work on fusion if you want, And if you don't want to that's fine too. When system members fuse, those system members don't die they come together as one, And all aspects of them are still involved. Therapy is a huge necessity for a lot of people with did and osdd to work through their trauma and be able to have healthy relationships with themselves. The alters in their system and other people outside of the system as well, these people obviously don't know what it's like to live with amnesia and don't understand what it's like to live with trauma. That's why they're promoting these types of ideologies, These Anti-psychiatric, Anti-diagnosis, Anti-medication things, but they're pushing it on people with did as well, Claiming that d.i.d isn't a disorder whatsoever, all did is natural. this is obviously harmful to people with many different kinds of disorders on so many different levels it's just straight-up anti-recovery. Now, going into many claims that those who beleive or enforce natural multiplicity use as defense. Often times the sources these people use are outdated onces insisiting just like the people in this article i have written, that Dissociative Identity Disorder isnt a disorder at all. another thing i find these systems claiming is the plea of spirtuality, otherwise called tulpamancy. The beleif they hold of this is an apropiated and westernized version of what they are attempting to claim, natural multiplicity hsowing up in history in this way has nothing to do with the psychological disorder they are trying to compare themselves to. will add more on tulpamancy and religoius endogenicism later.
