The multiplicity symbol is NOT DID-only.
So, it turns out HMS_Beagles, who haven't been around since 2011, still had their email account up all this time. People were sending them emails about adding sites to the healthymultiplicity.com list as late as 2015! Which is embarrassing; I had no idea. (And even then, it never would've occurred to me I could or should access their account.)
Before I delete the account, I've been manually wading through all the spam and sending messages informing everyone that Beagles is gone, the listing is gone, and for all other inquiries, they should email us instead.
But in the process, conveniently, I happen to get a hard citation for the creation of the multiplicity symbol--you know, the one with the interlocking circles? People on tumblr are apparently claiming it's a DID-only symbol now, and here's hard proof that it's not, because the creator, ouregaiya, emailed it to Beagles when they created it in October 2011. Ouregaiya are still active, and about as hardcore as it's possible to be, as far as medicalization of DID goes; their site reads, "Multiplicity is not an illness or disorder."
A screencap, for evidence:
