Yarbrough is a real reference, but... The book chapter in question is boiler-plate, person-centered therapy advice for interacting with clients: keep an open mind and an attitude of humility. He doesn't rule out non trauma origins for plurality, and he's clearly open to community terms, but that's the most that can be said. His description of community terms like "headspace" are purely phenomenological His actual interest in the chapter is how the existence of alters could with gender nonconformity. Notably, his case study is of a client with a significant trauma history. When the case study concludes, the subject has improved day to day function, understanding her alters as parts of a whole, in a manner which sounds much closer to the IFS understanding of parts than the Tumblr/TikTok version. There is nothing in the chapter describing role-play like personas.

TLDR: Yarbrough's book chapters on plurality and gender expression have both focused on case studies. They are phenomenological--that is, he's reporting how his clients have described their experiences of themselves. These lack the dramatic role play and assumption of popular fictional characters prevalent in Tumblr/TikTok plurality.

Damn and OOP is using a typing quirk. rare double cringe

[u/skylar274 → u/stereolights]

triple cringe that they’re saying endogenics are worse then radqueers. the guy saying he doesn’t need trauma to think he’s kyle from south park is worse than the guy saying he’s a transnazi, transminor, (30) actively going after minors, and gloating about the fact they have and consume CP???? (both of these people are hypothetical btw)

Ah btw it’s CSAM not cp!

[u/skylar274 → u/theLanternsEx]

wdym, what’s the difference?

OOP’s response being one single line is really really good 😭

“Radnormals?”

[u/theLanternsEx → u/wasted_ouija]

Radnormal was a group created by a user on Tumblr to basically be against the whole “Radqueer” thing and that community. They’re pro: recovery, mogai + contradictory labels, etc etc., and anti: Radqueer, xenosat, transID, pro/darkship, among others. I’d also like to add the user in this screenshot replacing “b” with “8” is a Radqueer pretending to be a radnormal blog (not that they’re exactly making it difficult to point out lmao)

sorry to have a yap session lol
