Genicpunk

Genicpunk:

Genicpunk is an ideology that focuses on rejecting the traditional hard boundaries between spiritual and psychological systems in favor of a hybrid view of your system as it is more conducive to healing.

It is comprised of a few main elements:

• The complete & utter rejection of any constraints of being a medical or non-medical system. The rejection of having to view your system as either a disorder or a spontaneous event and embracing some hybrid of both, or choosing not to label as either.

• The freedom to identify as both medical & non-medical. This is an understanding that the lines are blurred and plurality can be an experience unique to each person and how they choose to label and understand it is unique to them. To pigeonhole it erases its history, and that history extends out of Europe and America and across the world, transcending culture as a phenomenon by many different names & labels.

• The freedom to hold both spiritual and psychological views about your own system. This includes but isn't limited to having a dissociative disorder but also believing you are a gateway system, identifying as non-traumagenic and disordered, identifying as a spiritual system or having spiritual dimensions to your experiences as a system but also wishing to use medical terminology or seek medical treatment. The term is for any of those who wish to blatantly fly in the face of what is expected of a system and combine both medical and non-medical or medical & spiritual aspects to their identity.

• The rejection of other people's unwarranted opinions on your system and its status. This means rejecting sysmedicalism, gatekeeping and any exclusionary views in favor of self-ID, understanding that people have different views on what a term can mean and how that relates to them. This also means a total ignorance of what sysmedicalists and other third parties feel the need to say about your identity: Genicpunk is an ideology that will upset sysmedicalists, and it will stay that way.

However, it must always be held in a way that furthers your own acceptance, understanding and wellbeing, and represents an overall forwards movement in self-discovery and recovery.
