Wait, people legitimately thought — okay, let us just, y'know, talk about this real fast.
No, DID systems probably aren't going to have the same experiences of non-DID systems (and that's to say nothing of systems who needed the diagnosis once and now don't, and vice versa).
BUT because many singlets don't get how psychiatry and psychology work in general, that means
BUT because many singlets don't get how psychiatry and psychology work in general, that means
that pretty much every plural under the sun is going to get affected by any sort of existing narrative (because they assume the only systems that can exist are traumagebic DID systems).
We hope we don't have to explain this one to those who are a little more informed.
