Gender fluid or a case for Disassociative identity disorder

How is being gender fluid different from having a multiple personality disorder?

"Dissociative identity disorder, formerly referred to as multiple personality disorder, is a condition wherein a person's identity is fragmented into two or more distinct personality states. People with this rare condition are often victims of severe abuse.

Definition

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a severe condition in which two or more distinct identities, or personality states, are present in—and alternately take control of—an individual. Some people describe this as an experience of possession. The person also experiences memory loss that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness."

I'm not a psychologist. But I am trying to understand how the two are different?

And why would someone be given a diagnosis of gender dysphoria / gender fluid and not DID?
