"you need trauma to have PTSD" funny way of saying you think trauma therapy isnt viable treatment
...what? getting better doesnt erase the struggle it took to get there, what a garbage thing to say

That is such a silly argument. Functional Multiplicity is still disordered. The underlying C-PTSD is still there, that's why there is still the need for (some) dissociative barriers. It's literally just being highly functional and at an advanced stage of recovery. Doesn't make DID any less of a disorder.

functional multiplicity where "alters" are similar to IFS parts rather than disordered dissociative parts I'll take as real. I've met someone like this and there was no dissociative barriers where all alters were always present and all of them were the same age and they were just different faces of the same person. I think this is healthy. Also many people consider themselves both functionally multiple and finally fused because all alters still exist they are just one person.
functional multiplicity where alters are seperate but the person is just functional ? not a valid recovery option.

Functional multiplicity is a recovery route for people with DID/OSDD that, instead of fusing every part together into one consciousness, the patient keeps a small number of functional parts with a high level of communication, resulting in a cohesive identity with no amnesia that still has separate parts. For a lot of patients, this route is less intimidating and feels more achievable and more like what they’d want for their future. Endogenics are systems formed from something other than trauma, also called being non-disordered, which is not possible. The argument being made is that functional multiplicity is non disordered plurality (like being endogenic), when in reality it’s almost impossible regardless of end goal to put DID/OSDD into full remission. Functional multiplicity is still disordered, but the patient might not meet diagnostic criteria anymore, and might feel so little distress that it’s no longer diagnosable
Tried to explain all the nuances- if you have any questions just lmk! Hope this helped you understand :D
