“Can you switch for me?”
Switching Questions and Answers 1
Answered by Blade
This question can have both positive and negative implications, depending on the person and the situation. I would like to discuss certain scenarios where this question may or may not be appropriate.
Scenario one: Clinical setting (Appropriate)
In a clinical setting, such as therapy, this question may be asked. However, the wording of the question is inappropriate but the intent of the question is. The therapist may be trying to assess the system's ability to reach out to others and switch in a calm setting. This can help the therapist understand the system's communication and willingness to collaborate. If the therapist is familiar with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), they may be asking in order to use a therapeutic approach known as the "Switching technique." It is important to practice this technique in therapy and the therapist will have a better understanding of where to start teaching this technique based on already established levels of communication.
Scenario Two: Asked to switch as proof of disorder (Inappropriate)
If someone, whether it be a friend, stranger, or therapist, asks you to switch as proof of your disorder, this is highly inappropriate. It suggests that your disorder is a show or not real. Switching for systems cannot be controlled and should not be used as a means of proving the disorder. Even if the system has experience with the switching technique, it should only be practiced in a calm setting and used in practice to protect from distress, not to entertain others. Positive triggers, while not negative, can still cause harm to systems. Switching can cause headaches, fatigue, and communication issues if someone is forced out without warning. Forcing someone out can also make them feel invalidated as an individual and could potentially harm progress in future communication or willingness to collaborate.
Scenario Three: Asking because they want to talk to a specific alter. (Mixed)
In a clinical setting, a therapist may want to work through trauma with a specific alter or has done so in the past. They may also be trying to understand the system better. In this case, the therapist may ask this question to see if the alter will come out. However, it is important to note that this can be both good and bad. If the therapist is pushing for a forced switch, it is not appropriate. In a personal situation, if the person is suggesting they do not want to talk to the current fronter and only want to talk to a specific person, it can be harmful. This can also be the case if the person is not a good friend and only wants to talk to an alter they find "interesting," such as a fictive. This suggests that our lives are for others' entertainment, which is not acceptable.
Scenario four: Asking to reduce potential harm or risk to the system (Appropriate)
In a personal setting, if the system has been triggered and someone who
should not be out for their safety, such as a little, has fronted, it may be beneficial for someone to ask for a specific protector to front to handle the situation. In this case, being asked or told for someone to front can benefit the system. The person asking in this situation is most likely a good friend and is asking for good reasons so that there is less pressure in the system to figure out a solution if an external person is guiding the system through who should be trying to front.

When you have a moment, please read this X/Twitter thread from Sam, aka, TheScruffyCat. It has very important information about mentioning Zines in the descriptions of fics. Their AO3 account has been suspended because of a rule AO3 has on monetary use of fanfiction, which at this moment doesn’t directly mention Zines, but they appear to be included. So even mentioning a Zine (even one that is for charity and/or free) can put your account in hot water.
This might even apply to comments (which has some BAD implications), but they haven’t heard back on that yet.
They have said that is may be specifically because of mentioning the sale of a Zine, but just to be safe they have concluded:
Text on photo:
- don't mention zines anywhere on your ao3
- not even charity zines
- not even a passing "i'm working on a zine fic" in the description of an unrelated fic
- not even in comments
- delete any comments from others mentioning zines (even nice comments :'( )
Please reblog or send this to your author friends if they write on AO3. Thank you!
AMPUTEE SAM. I KNOW THIS IN MY HEART. I FEEL IN MY SOUL THAT HE HAS A COOL LOOKING PROSTHETIC ALSO. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT CRITICISM.
