Manchester Metropolitan College's "Understanding Multiplicity"

[lb_lee]

Hey guys, feotakahari  linked me to this PDF, called "Understanding Multiplicity," from Manchester Metropolitan University.  It seems to be a 101 on plurality intended for college students, not too bad. (Also healthymultiplicity.com got cited in it, which is a pleasant surprise!)

Decent representation is a good thing to run across!

Wow, this is so good. Thank you for sharing it. We could even use it in the future if we come out to somebody who has no idea about plurality hah.
I don't really like the way they repeatedly phrase it as an experience of young people - we became aware of who we are thanks to the work of people decades older than us, and that was over ten years ago! - but since it's aimed at college students, I suppose that makes a little more sense. -ov

Yeah, I figure the "young people" thing is because it's coached to its clientele? I don't mind so much, since in the old days, MPD/DID was dismissively treated as a "middle-aged bored white woman's problem."

Ooh yeah I really liked this pdf!! I assumed the whole young people thing was because of the Young Voices Study or whatever, I honestly just assumed they said that because it was for them or something.

Though without thinking that it does sound kind of weird lol

Lol! Is 33 still considered young or are we gonna have to scream at whippersnappers to get off our lawn?
I’m fifteen so I think I qualify as young and I’m definitely a people :P
What made me lose my shit was they kept putting identify when they meant identity. I didn’t know I’m an identify! Still good though!
