otoh, the phrase "identifies as" in reference to trans people may serve to remind some that gender and biological sex are identities and not two little boxes one of which MDs fit us in at birth and which we will stay in for the rest of our life. But otoh, like you say, there is the implication that identifying as something is different from actually being it.

Personally, it's harder for me to say "I'm third gender" than "I identify as third gender", but that's just me.
