Kinky Disability: This Dangerous Line I Walk

This post is my submission for March’s Blog Carnival of Mental Health, regarding the unique connection between my mental health, sexuality and its impact on my relationship. NOTE: This post is about the use of age play to recover and reclaim sexual assault. For victims and survivors of childhood sexual assault, age play is a [...]

Why I Don’t Suffer From DID

As I sit here, occasionally wrapping my hands around the warm cup of my therapy latte, one of the nastier storms of the season pounds on the walls around me. The roads are slick and yet incredibly rough, seeing as I live on side roads where the ridges of snow left from the few passing [...]

Of Video Games and Reclamation: The Unseen Advantages of DID

Back in the day, on another server in the different era of patch 3.3.3a, we mained a Survival hunter. Or, well, one of us did. The rest of us didn’t find a whole lot of enjoyment in hunters, though the general knowledge and occasional gameplay would seep through. But for whatever reason, hunters were what [...]

Intersections of Disability and Transgenderism

Note: This post was originally posted on Questioning Transphobia. I’m cross-posting it here because what better way to get back into the swing of talking about trans issues than to blog about it?

Dear World: BINGO! Plurality Edition #1

So instead of my typical letters for Dear World, I bring you plurality stereotyping bingo cards! Originally written by the Zyfron System, authors of the [...]

I Am Not: Sybil

Since this seems to be a really popular topic for readers of my blog, I want to take a moment to expand on why the assumption that people or systems with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) look like or are properly represented by the book and movie Sybil. Unfortunately, when I see or hear people talking [...]

I Am Not: Your Plot Device

I [1] have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Before you start thinking about all that you know about the disorder or its American historical counterpart Multiple Personality Disorder, probably influenced by media portrayals such as that train wreak of a movie Sybil – stop. Now. These portrayals are so wrong and full of tropes it’s not [...]
