Local Void: Traumagenic

Traumagenic

[ Back to: Origins ]

While we would hate to be put in the position of having to choose one and only one origin as which to label our system, we would choose traumagenic under those circumstances. While we do not think that trauma is the very original origins of our system, it is the origin of Inner Voidelia - the three superclusters.

With the knowledge we currently have, it is believed that the structure that contains the three superclusters is traumagenic, because the three core selves of the superclusters originate from a single incident of early-life corrective sexual abuse.

The incident, which was perpetrated by a cis man on someone he perceived as a lesbian, caused mixed reactions in our system. There was one part (Blue) who remembered the abuse and felt traumatized by it, didn't always trust men, and clung to their lesbian identity and anything that reminded them of it. Meanwhile, there was another part (Bryan) whose reaction to the abuse was to develop a curiosity about sex and the "male body", as this would presumably be our first time seeing someone with anatomy different to what we were altered to have at birth. An additional part (Blixa) was totally unaware of the abuse and was responsible for managing everyday life for the system, with no awareness of a system at all.

This division happened in our very early childhood, during the 1990s, but in 2013, Blixa (who was not supposed to have an innerworld or headmates due to them having to function as "normal") split into many different headmates whom he first identified as a median system but that quickly became distinct enough that he felt confident labeling himself as multiple.

Blixa's split into what we now know as Blixa's Supercluster/Central Voidelia was caused by the sudden death of our adoptive mother. This was the first time an event had happened to us in surface memory that absolutely anyone would consider traumatic and that we had absolutely no way of ignoring. This is also why Blixa's Supercluster has always had so little amnesia between them; the part that they split from was not meant to be amnesiac about anything but trauma, meaning they would have needed good memory of our everyday life and doings.
