I couldn't agree with you more about the nomenclature of gender identity. If a person identifies as a man, regardless of plumbing, he is a man, not a male identified person. The same is true of a woman. I honestly think it might be an attempt by some group to make gender identity even more confusing so that people have to align into some artificial construct.
I have quite a few MtF friends, most of whom identify at gay men. Once they transitioned (by the way, most were Lesbians when they identified as women), while I may have misgendered them in language, I never did in spirit, they were and are MEN.
