I want to address the recent reddit post about a certain youtuber.
1: alters don& #39;t always have & #39;oscar-worthy& #39; accents, it& #39;s just down to how the brain perceives an accent and tries to recreate it. You are not invalid if one or more alters have an accent that isn& #39;t perfect.

2. All systems have completely different experiences and everyone& #39;s brain works in different ways, some peoples alters have a pitch-difference and some don& #39;t. If your child alter has a higher pitch than the bodies natural pitch, that& #39;s valid.
3. Blog posts aren& #39;t always as credible as academic articles, however a lot of blogs write from the perspective of someone with first-hand experience with DID, so I wouldn& #39;t just write it off as totally unworthy as a reference. Articles can use language that& #39;s very hard to read.
4. The purpose of therapy is NOT to & #39;return to a singlet& #39;, therapy is catered around what is best for the patient, and it is Definitely not the healthiest and safest route for everyone to have a full fusion with their system, sometimes the end goal will be learning to work with +
you system. It is not delusional or & #39;rainbow-filled harmony& #39; to want to have good communication and work well with your system, to say that is to deny a huge stage in recovery.
5. To immediately call people who are self-diagnosed fake is classist. In a lot of places it is VERY expensive to get a diagnosis, in some places it& #39;s impossible to get one at all. Of course some people will get it wrong, but a lot of people won& #39;t.
6. No one ever claimed DID is fun, but that doesn& #39;t mean we all have to be doom and gloom all the time because what is that going to achieve? If I& #39;m constantly depressed about the fact I suffered through childhood trauma, how will I ever recover?
In conclusion, I know it must be fun to feel like you have a voice in an online community and I personally don& #39;t feel very comfortable with the situation regarding this particular system but it is not my place, nor any of our place to call them out as fake. +
If you don& #39;t believe in self-diagnosis you especially cannot be diagnosing or telling anyone they don& #39;t have a diagnosis. Yes, what happened with this system has been damaging to the community, but what is even more damaging is the amount of hate that& #39;s come out of it. +
If you were looking for a safe community for what can be a terrifying disorder to deal with sometimes, is this what you& #39;d want to find? A community that leaks peoples private information and sweeps their every move in the hopes of finding out someone is fake? +
This community never used to be like this, why all of a sudden does it feel malicious? Please concentrate on lifting the voices of those who are trust-worthy rather than focussing on the past actions of people who you don& #39;t want to define this community. +
Because at the moment, when you try to enter this community all you see is call-out posts and drama videos. You are contributing to your own stigma.
