I am traumogenic (trauma created/clinical DID) plural system. It is highly likely that I never had a "core personality" that I was born as and instead have always had either an infant mental state or multiple personalities. (During the time most babies begin to form a coherent personality, I formed several. It is possible that not every system forms like this but highly like I did)
Every time I've felt I was singular, I've experienced mental walls, amnesia and other DID symptoms. If someone could do a "I'm singular ama" that'd be cool because I have questions too. :)
How does gender identity / sexuality work for you? I don't know if this is an inappropriate question.
Well, I made a sincere Volcel thread in the mental health community. So there's that. We seem to have one orientation but different ways of perceiving it. However partnered sex is presently not healthy or safe for us. It can cause involuntary switching and other problems. Other systems talk about having mixed orientations. We don't seem to have that. BDSM is extremely harmful to us and keeping us safe from that trigger has prevented us from getting cheaper rent from queer international urban communities. (Basically we can't live in a situation where people talk about that in common spaces or else flashbacks and involuntary switching. As in, another alter takes control of front) Other systems can have healthy partnered sex and we're proud to admit that we at this point in history cannot and should not.
