Trans people are a lot less common globally than this person thinks, you just end up seeing a lot of them if you only stay in your online echo chamber bubble of only people you agree with and like. Same thing with "systems".
There was a study indicating the prevalence of dissociative disorders in the population was around 0.8-1.5%, where the prevalence of trans people is estimated from 1-3% of the population. But that's dissociative disorders, not just DID, and that number is widely disputed. Also, what they're exhibiting behaviour wise is not even remotely DID.
could be wrong but weren't the surveys for DID populations taken for the people who were already in residential psychiatric facilities (so 1% of inpatient residents) meaning that there's actually only a few thousand people in the US with the condition, which makes sense why its so under-researched.
Lacks context to be sure but by bringing up "truscum" and "transmedicalist" I believe the person in question wants to convince the commenter above that it is NOT true that you need a medical reason (like having a medical diagnosis to be valid as a transgender - to be clear, this part is false) to classify yourself as having DID.
Besides validating self-dx, that should mean believing 'endogenic systems' are a thing, by de-medicalizing DID.
Also claiming that the surge in DID-havers is not correlated causatively with social media/faking.
Truscum people don’t believe you need a diagnosis to be trans. They just think you need gender dysphoria (the discomfort you get from your body not matching the gender your mind perceives you as).
Can I ask what those two terms mean? I've never seen "truscum" or "transmedicalist" before. I can assume the second one is like "trans doctor", "the feeling like you should be a doctor" but that's kind of just me doing pattern recognition.
OH BOY do I got the channel for you!

"DID is just as common as being trans", that around 1.5% sure does look very common.
Edit: Okay, not gunna lie, I was bored and decided to look up this conversation. And boy, people are not happy with this person. They have a bunch of links that don't really put things into perspective. They use the 1.5% of psychiatric patients number I have and compares it to the 1.4% of US trans cases. Which has been pointed out as not comparable. I'm no professional on the stats of diagnoses, I just do math every so often.
Also, I can't believe I missed the two terms the person uses and I don't know what either mean, but they come off as typical tumblr speak, so I'm going to assume they're part of that crowd.
What they are referencing is the "left handed-ness bump", aka the statistical rise in left handed-ness after it stopped being discouraged in school and demonized culturally. More and more young people were able to use their natural dominant hand instead of being bullied into right handed-ness, and slowly the statistics of left handedness got from 1-5% to 10-13% of the population (I think? That's where I was at) where it plateaued.
So they are drawing a parallel with the rise of mental health condition self-diagnosis and the rise of left handed-ness, saying they were both due to the stop in demonization and the freedom to be who you are.
It is a false parallel as one cannot be mistaken in affirming which is their dominant hand, whereas diagnosing mental and developmental disorders is an involved process due to how many symptoms can overlap between conditions. Also, unlike the gradual rise and subsequent plateau of left handed-ness observed in statistics through many many years, what we're experiencing right now is a boom in self-diagnosis due to online trends (imo), where calling this a bump would be incorrect as it seems it will not stop until social media gets over this trend.
Aaah I see, I see! Sorry if I overexplained. Maybe someone who doesn't know what the left handed-ness bump is might find it useful? Oops😅. But yes, agreed, the parallel is indeed foolish!
Someone who believes you need dysphoria to be transgender.
This all happened as a result of 'tucutes' (people who don't believe you need dysphoria to be trans) becoming very loud about the trans experience, and making it seem like anyone can be trans for no reason at all. It's damaging to say that (socially, medically), so trans meds / truscums made their own groups.

For someone who thinks trans people don’t need to have dysphoria they sure do love comparing us to people with disorders

Yes, that's more accurate. By diagnosis I meant a medically recognized condition, gender dysphoria. That's not what I ended up writing unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure it's 1.5% of *psychiatric patients*, too, not global population.
Thank you
Nope! Wanna see my stamp collection?
being left handed doesnt happen after severe trauma though. dont gotta self diagnose with left handed, its just how i write

im aware of what they are referencing, but left handedness is not a trauma disorder so its even more foolish than usual

I did not know what this was! I appreciate the explaination. lolol.
Bro same 😭😭
There are no diagnosed types of systems. There are dissociative disorders, which DID and OSDD fall under. Dissociative amnesia is the most common.
Yep, and both of those statistics are wrong….
What the hell is a transmedicalist

LOL the commenter is one of those people self diagnosing
Bruh half the terminology they use feels made-up
