'I have [scars] too but they are less visible.' I honestly can't see a single scar, but in the comments, she gets a lot of sympathy for it. It's another example of her hiding behind mental illness to avoid being questioned; I remember seeing a few skeptical comments around the time it was uploaded, but they were all deleted.
Someone in the GG thread iirc said they had seen her in person, in a bikini, and she had no scars where she claimed to have burned herself. They said they saw no scars at all.

I'm currently looking for a reference for a statement made by a previous president of the ISSTD that any presentation of alters that believe they are their own full identity (ie, with a different name) accounts for only 3% of documented cases of DID.
In the soundbite I heard, the then president stated that DID is typically only distinguished from Dissociative Amnesia and Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder in that the depersonalization in DPDRD you aware that it is only a feeling of detachment, and not actual detachment, and in DID there is no longer that distinction. Patients have the sense while they are depersonalized that they are not the same "self" (though not someone
else). In Dissociative Amnesia there is no depersonalization or derealization, only loss of recall to varying degrees. DID patients experience dissociative amnesia, depersonalization, and derealization.
She also talked about the
social contagion of DID explaining why patients who have not been properly diagnosed with DID present with the rarest form, and the psychiatrist she was talking to concurred, but stated he believed it accounted for ALL of the cases which more closely mimic media representation of DID with the classical symptoms of the no longer valid Multiple Personality Disorder.
The "self-diagnosis" culture of the DID community, which Chloe has
helped prop up and spread has been ramping up heavily the past week.

Less than 25% of the global psychiatric field believes that DID, as it is currently defined, belongs in the DSM and the ICD. It's not quality of healthcare that is the issue, it's that they are trying to help people in actual distress by treating what they believe are the real issues (mainly PTSD, bpd, and Bipolar Disorder). This "we're the most oppressed of all the oppressed!" attitude is probably part of what gives Chloe the audacity to claim she's being oppressed as a POC for people daring to think she's white because she's... white.
Also, The figures they continue to cite are not accurate, in the comments they cite that the most recent figure for DID prevalence is 3.7% based on a
study that used DES scores to determine who "met the criteria" for DID. They did not do any research on DES scores in other disorders to eliminate possible inflation of results. The study itself is essentially entirely confirmation bias.
The most recent figure for prevalence of DID is between 1.1% and 1.5%, and is from 2017. Table here:

Chloe had claimed to never have heard of DID other than in the movies (Sybil, I think she claimed?), but I've found that a lot of her content is a nearly word-for-word plagiarism of Multiplicity & Me, one of Remy Aquarone's cases who only knew of one of her "alters" prior to meeting with him (I suspect she was experiencing depersonalization, and Remy himself encouraged her to create an identity around that depersonalized state).
