Perhaps someone will share more insight into this.

Personalities are not particularly known to be dangerous - they are basically coming from the same person. Assuming the person is not dangerous, it is unlikely they are much of a problem. Personalities can be male or female, irrespective of the gender of the victim.
Detecting a personality change is not that easy - it's kinda subtle and most times nobody would have a clue. Know a few people who have MPD - the personalities were usually created at a time of trauma during childhood and usually during an assault. Only me, but I feel sorry for these individuals - they had to carry that baggage into their adult life and it does cause a degree of internal stress.
It is possible to dispose of the personalities, but takes a long time and professional help. I had no clue of DID till I met some victims and that did have an impact on me - stunning. It's hard to comprehend how any adult can cause that much damage to a child. Since then, I've done anything I can to aid these people, tho the only real "solution" is attempt to evaluate the numbers of personalities and slowly dispose of them - and that's a specialist field.
There can be a "funny" side to it as well and, least in the instances I know of, it's better to work on the funny side and make light of any problems and keep smiling
