I think DID is a disorder, and Structural Dissociation is a theory. Considering DID as a form of structural dissociation is mixing apples and oranges (no pun intended).DID is a form of Structural Dissociation, and none of us should be trying to adjust reality to fit a theory about reality.
I don't believe that's what the OP said. And I certainly didn't say that either.The OP is convinced that they don't have DID. That's nice. They're also at risk of denying their experience because 'If it only happens in DID, it can't be happening'
It's not helpful to conflate diagnoses. The symptom - experiencing a 'part' of yourself as a different gender than your biological bits - is possible under many circumstances, and does not point to DID specifically. OP identifies with structural dissociation. None of us should be here to tell her she's got DID instead....and nowhere did the OP say that "it can't be happening".
You're projecting.
