A sysmed is an individual or system that adheres strictly to outdated and misapplied medical ideas about plurality and enforces those ideas on others, often in relation to causation. Sysmeds prioritize DID and OSDD-1 experiences over others, and/or do not believe in endogenic systems. They often disparage "inclusive plural spaces", including saying that DID/OSDD-1 systems don't belong within them.

Sysmeds are not those who believe that DID/OSDD-1 systems should have their own spaces, or that traumagenic plurality is different than other forms, as all experiences deserve their own communities.

History

The term "sysmed" is modeled after the term "transmed", as both follow the same ideology: a certain phenomena is only valid if they fit precise medical definitions and ideal. The latter is short for "transmedicalism", and when used as a personal identifier, "transmedicalist". Sysmed is a noun but can be modified as an adjective ("that post was very sysmeddy").
