Mike Dorsett is one of Sybil's two male personalities. He took his name from Willard Dorsett, who always called Sybil "Mike" when she wore blue overalls and a red shirt. This outfit, in fact, appears to be Mike's standard. Mike identifies strongly with Grandpa Dorsett. He is described as a robust young man, who wants to find a nice woman, get married, and have children. Mike argues vehemently with Dr. Wilbur as she tries to explain that Mike exists in a female body and will never be able to produce either a penis or a child. Mike is an offshoot of the Peggys.
