No it isn't. You've missed the point.

Dissociative gender identity arises because of how the person themselves defines their gender identity; and this is environmental. "Playing with dolls" and that kind of thing. If you tell a boy he can't do "girl things" he could begin to think he's a girl. Cut out the "gender" and you pretty much have the textbook understanding of dissociative identity disorder as well. Same shit, but two very different outcomes.

Because me and my sister were playing with barbies when I was 5, and there were a bunch of female barbies, and one Ken doll. And I took his little plastic sword and symbolically lopped his penis off, and then broke a pretty dress by fitting it around him. Then mom came and and got pissed off at us (most of the barbies were naked, we hadn't gotten to dressing them up yet...)

Yeah, totally learned behavior. Gotta be.

I can tell you I often wished I had Xena Warrior Princess as my girlfriend in high school. Not only sexy but could have kicked the jocks asses when they bullied me.

Funny, I imagined I was a warrior princess, and after demonstrating it one too many times to bullies got kicked out fo school
