    I’m female presenting. I’ve known people who thought I was a cis woman for months, and I don’t keep being nonbinary or trans a secret.

    When I read actual cis women’s accounts of misogyny, and also trans women’s accounts, I can’t relate. I don’t get shut down the same way. Somehow, despite others perceiving me as female, I kept the tiny part of gender presentation that tells people to sit down and shut up when I’m talking as if I were a man. I don’t understand what it is, but I still have it the same as before I transitioned.

    I would love to know what it is so I can share it, but I can’t tell why people respect me as much as they would respect a man. It’s bewildering.









  • The third rule of tulpamancy is that the word “tulpa” is culturally appropriated - the modern use of the word has very little in common with the Buddhist tradition, especially in why it’s done and what sorts of system members are created. The new, culturally sensitive word is parogen. It means “intentionally created”.

    Further terminology:
    Endogenic system - a head with multiple people in it that was created by its own actions
    Traumagenic system - a head with multiple people in it that was created by trauma. Often DID or OSDD
    Headmate - someone who lives in the same head as you
    Introject - a headmate whose identity is based on an external source such as a character
    Fictive - a headmate based on a fictional character. May or may not believe they’re truly the same person as in the media, for any philosophical opinion on what “the same person” means.
