holy cow I just read the link about "transablism" and just learned about "transethnic" and for all that I'm willing to give a pass to a kid who thinks he's got a raccoon, the Third Doctor, and River Tam living in his head, if somebody told me they identified as "transabled" or "transethnic" I might very well respond with violence.

On the "headmates" tag, somebody posted a screen shot of another Tumblr with the intent of mocking it, and in the screenshot, a person who has a vampire otherkin headmate talked about how the headmate gets triggered when people talk about pooping because vampires don't eat and so don't have buttholes, and in the screen shot, somebody responded to that comment very seriously, apologizing for the ablism that the buttholeless vampire headmate has to endure. I would think that was trolling because come on but then somebody else was mocking it so I just don't know.

I guess for these folks you can kick out a headmate and the headmate will go live in somebody else's head. Probably as good an argument as any to avoid them.

I've seen the movie but not read the book. Didn't they just discover she made it all up or it was implanted or something? The whole MPD/SRA phenomenon is completely fascinating to me.

ENBB (and others), Ian Hacking's Rewriting the Soul is an excellent book on the social and historical development of MPD constructs, treatment and diagnosis, as well as an examination of its philosophical status, and contains a close historical reading of the period where a lot of the building blocks for current MPD understanding were put in place. Sybil features fairly heavily. (He also wrote an excellent book on transient mental states called Mad Travellers about wandering fugue states among Europeans in the 19th century, used to analyse the meaning and notions of syndromes like autism. As recommended by Plasmon in this thread.

IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE you the reader have had
mind-control done to you, you must consider the following book to
be DANGEROUS. If you are consulting a therapist for DID (also
known as MPD), it is recommended that you consult your therapist
before reading this book. The complications that could result for
those under mind control learning the truth--could be fatal. The
co-authors take no responsibility for those who read or misuse this
information.

There was a total of 21 people in lil Wayne’s video ( counting the skeletons ). 12 skeletons in the chairs of the video. 12 people that died in reality at the movie. 21 people total got shot in reality. 21 can be broke down to 2+1=3 and 12 can be broke down to 1+2=3 . 33 is a powerful number. 33 is the Masonic. illuminati anyone. Also, This is the yr of the Queens jubilee. The year of twins/double. This is why Whitney Houston had to die. She was the Queen of Pop. Fast forward to today, the killer called himself joker. A joker in the batman movie and a joker in reality. Doubles again. I guess They need that energy. It was a ritual murder!

he has a blog post up about today's re-broadcast of the anderson cooper appearance

He complained that it cost $9.95 to go to DemonTest.com, our web site, and take the test that shows the likelihood of demonic possession. When I explained that we have internet management costs to build and maintain the site, Cooper admitted that he scored high on the test! That’s no surprise. Cooper’s brother committed suicide right in front of him by jumping to his death from a tall building.

Whoa! Just been floored that Michelle Remembers took place in Victoria, BC of all places! I vacationed there when I was six, so maybe my fond childhood memories colors it a bit, but there simply cannot be a less satanic cult environment.

A 1995 book found further inconsistencies in Smith’s allegations; the authors found no newspaper record of the car crash that the book describes in the time frame described despite the fact that the local newspaper reported on all vehicle accidents at the time. Former neighbors, teachers and friends were interviewed and yearbooks from Smith’s elementary school were reviewed and found no indication of Smith being absent from school or missing for lengthy periods of time, including the alleged 81-day non-stop ceremony. Ultimately the book's authors were unable to find anyone who knew Smith in the 1950s who could corroborate any of the details in her allegations.[12]
A 2002 article by Kerr Cuhulain[17] not only explored the inconsistencies in Smith’s allegations, but also their unlikeliness. Among other things, Cuhulain noted that it seemed unlikely that a sophisticated cult that had secretly existed for generations could be outwitted by a five-year-old; that the cult could hold rituals in the Ross Bay Cemetery unnoticed given that Smith claimed she was screaming and given that the Ross Bay Cemetery is surrounded on three sides by residential neighborhoods; that an 81-day non-stop ceremony involving hundreds of participants and a massive round room could have gone on in Victoria unnoticed; and that none of Smith’s tormentors (other than her mother) have ever been identified, especially given that some of them had cut off one of their middle fingers at the Black Mass. Like other authors,[6][9][12] Cuhulain also noted that many of Smith's recovered memories appear to have reflected elements in popular culture at the time (e.g.: the movie The Exorcist) and Pazder's own religious beliefs and experiences from when he was living and working in Africa in the early 1960s. Finally, Cuhulain hypothesized that Smith's motivation for making the allegations may have come from her desire to spend time with Pazder; though both were initially married to other people, they divorced their spouses and re-married each other after the publication of the book.[17]

This thread has played a small part in my already-increasing scepticism towards modern psychiatry.

There are so many depressing stories related to psychiatry in Sybil Exposed (especially the one about the teenage girls that were stripped and filmed in the psych ward by doctors) that it made me even more mistrustful of psychiatrists than I was going in.

Oh man, that Brice Taylor image upthread reminds me that I've seen a video interview segment with her. Satanic ritual abuse! Celebrities and politicians!

The 80s were so extremely fucked and anyone who grew up during that time probably still has some weird cultural mental baggage. I know I do. Two boys actually were abducted/disappeared in '82/'84 -- completely odd, but both were paperboys so that was seen as some sort of link that the cases were related. It led to some parents being extremely cautious, and fed a lot of ritual abuse and abduction stories.

your native bacon (mh), Thursday, 2 August 2012 19:26 (eleven years ago) link

Actually were abducted in my area, I mean.,

Not to detract from the main story of MPD, here, but allegations of weird child abuse rings were definitely a thing, and as aero mentioned, often used as explanations in the case of abuse much closer to home.

notable because the recovered memories in this case come from the alleged perpetrator, and upstanding christian family man & police officer... wild stuff
