I apologize if the word is insulting. I was using it as an adjective, as an alternative to terms including the word "disorder". It's a word I run across online, and particularly seems to be used by people engaged in advocacy, so I thought this was the more progressive term to use. It does seem more inclusive, since not everyone with dissociated identities feels they have a disorder.

Again, I am sorry if it's disrespectful in your view, that wasn't intended.
