Resources outside the Institute
Resources from The Crisses
Description
The Crisses are one of the main contributors for online resources on the topic of plurality, as well as for the creation of infrastructure for plural activism. They became first notable to us (Sva) due to their resources site and the "missing manual" on plurality on the kinhost wiki. We recommend looking over the wiki pages on "the plural movement" for people wanting to get an introductory understanding of plurality and of the discussions about plurality, especially to avoid syscourse spam, specifically the following page:
Why “Plural” — Ending Multiple-to-Multiple Discrimination
The Institute for Plural Philosophy is explictly "plural" in the sense described there, hence the importance of this reference. The wiki also discusses on length many other topics; these have no such direct connection to the constitution of the institute, but are points of interest for future research (about the various different connection to spirtuality, the body etc.).
The Crisses describe themselves in this way on their personal website:
"We are non-binary gender-fluid plural activists, content creators, life coaches, instructors, advocates, peer supporters, and have been out as "many people living in our head" since 1997. We are available for audio and written interviews, guest OpEds, non-camera video interviews, and as a specialized media consultant for producers, directors, authors, actors, and other content producers who are interested in covering the topics of dissociative identity disorder (DID) and/or plurality.
Due to our diverse interests, having been a web developer, author, graphic designer & content creator, we are using our personal site as a hub to our content around the web, a living CV for folks interested in hiring or interviewing us, and a link to our various special interests.
We aren't trying to be perfect, or famous, or have a large following. What we really want is to help people and know whether or not what we're doing is helping. We're not afraid to say we were wrong, make corrections, or take healthy criticism or kind critiques. We love learning, especially from our mistakes — and we make a lot of them, which is why we know so much.
Anyone with an opportunity for us to reach more of the people who need help whom we are cut out to help — please let us know. We welcome opportunities to help folk find resources that will help them improve their life and improve their therapy (if any) outcomes."
