Recently, my wife and myself have being watching the Showtime series United States of Tara.
It's about Tara (my namesake, played by Toni Collette) who has Dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder, most of the personalities are female but one is male. Leading my wife to think my Tara is a different personality to my male persona, but this is not true. My female and male sides are always there, it's just that one persona exists in the closet and online, my thoughts and many of my actions, but is somewhat suppressed much of most days. Have other people come across DID being used to rationalize transgender-ism by partners?
Note: The series is actually very good. Toni Collette's acting is superb as usual. I loved her in Muriel's wedding, Sixth Sense, Japanese Story and Little Miss Sunshine. I also love the fashion on the show.. both Tara and her sister have a good variety of denim skirts.
