I believe healthy multiplicity is real and your anon is missing the point, psychology is supposed to explain the workings of the mind not own them and only allow for their worldview to exist, so please don’t assume I’m one of those anons, but I think that what people like the anon are doing to you reminds me of what otherkin like you do to other kin, you define who can be part of the community by your views, like being against coping kin, according to my worldview as kin that is possible.

Sorry this took me longer to get to! You have a point! The difference is that I absolutely believe that copingkin exist as a phenomenon…
