Eureka!  Performative Gender Euphoria!

from Google AI:

In Lacanian psychoanalysis, the ego is the self that experiences reality, while the superego is a cruel, imperative voice commanding enjoyment, or jouissance—a painful pleasure beyond simple joy. Unlike Freudian ethics, Lacan's superego doesn't just forbid but actively compels the subject to enjoy, creating a twisted sense of guilt from which no enjoyment is ultimately derived, as any attempted fulfillment of the command leads to more pain and an impossible pursuit of unattainable pleasure...

...unattainable before the furry costume, attainable after donning the furry suit. The ego retires, and the furry persona can be unleashed.  The personae's now ego-suspended disbelief achieved.

Gender Identity Disorder (GID: aka - Gender Dysphoria) is related to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

The difference from Google AI:  Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly multiple personality disorder, involves distinct identities that take control of a person's behavior, accompanied by amnesia, while Gender Dysphoria (GD) is the distress a person experiences from the incongruence between their internal sense of gender and their sex assigned at birth. A key difference is that DID is a global identity disturbance with involuntary shifts and amnesia, whereas GD is a specific distress related to gender identity and often leads to a desire for medical transition. It's important to note that GD is not a personality disorder, though some people with DID may also experience or present with symptoms of GD.

GD can be the pleasure (surplus jouissance) of an actor playing a role as opposed to a schizophrenic fracturing of the Ego   It's a function of how deep the rabbit hole one goes:

From Google AI: 

Schizophrenia

• Characterized by positive (e.g., hallucinations, delusions), negative (e.g., flat affect, withdrawal), and cognitive (e.g., disorganized thinking) symptoms.
• Typically develops in late adolescence or early adulthood.
• Delusions are often bizarre and persecutory, while hallucinations can be auditory, visual, or other sensory experiences.
• Treatment involves antipsychotic medications, therapy, and psychosocial interventions.

Dissociative Identity Disorder

• Characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states that alternate and take control of the individual's behavior.
• Often arises from severe childhood trauma or abuse.
• Individuals may experience amnesia, depersonalization, and a sense of detachment from their own body and emotions.
• Treatment involves therapy, such as trauma-focused therapy, to integrate the different identities and develop coping mechanisms

Co-occurrence

It's important to note that schizophrenia and DID can sometimes co-occur in the same individual. This is known as "schizoaffective disorder."

Conclusion

Schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder are distinct mental health conditions with different symptoms, origins, and treatments. It's crucial to seek professional help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of either condition.
