Stahrgeyzer, we like to think of ourselves as "Earthlings." We don't like all the human categories they put us in (gendered, race, nationality, religion, SES, etc.). And yes, indeed, most humans (i.e., singletons) don't understand DID.
We remember watching "The Last Starfighter" back in the 1980s, I think. It was one of our favorite movies! We used to wish to be rescued by extraterrestrials and beamed to safety. We had such an imagination back then.
