An umbrella term that encompasses all non-normative and/or atypical sex, gender, sexual, and/or romantic identities and typically used interchangeably with LGBT(Q+) but with an emphasis on nonconformity and anti-assimilation due to its origin as a word meaning "strange" and later as a slur against homosexuals; alternatively a standalone label for those who do not wish to further clarify their identity
Person 1: I identify as queer!
Person 2: ...Isn't that a slur against gay people?
Person 3: It was and sometimes still is, but many queer people have reclaimed it and find it's the only word that fits us.

The belief that one’s preferences and what one enjoys in fiction does not reflect the morals of that individual. It is similar to being proship but, unlike proship which mostly refers to shipping, profiction encompasses all of fiction.
"Because I am profiction, I know that liking serial killer fiction does not mean I enjoy people being murdered in real life."

An individual who believes trauma is a necessary component to developing into a plural system (as with DID and OSDD) and anyone who hasn’t experienced trauma (as with endogenic/non-traumagenic systems) is either lying or mistaken about their plurality. It is mostly used derogatorily and is modeled after the term transmedicalist. It is often shortened to sysmed.
Person 1: I find it a bit insulting that people claim they can develop into a system without trauma.
Person 2: Wow, I can't believe you're a sysmedicalist.
Person 2: Wow, I can't believe you're a sysmedicalist.
