protip for people who feel compelled to say "identifies": replace "identifies as" with "says they are" and see how your statement looks then

"x% of millennials say they are gay or bisexual": sure, whatever
"he says he is a farmer": fine, but probably redundant; do you doubt him?
"inclusive of women and people who say they are women" 
yikes on fucking bikes dude

my point here is just, you know, be careful with your language. annotative meaning is nowhere near sufficient to capture everything your audience will get out of a piece of writing and "identifies as" has been a weasel-word to get around saying "I don't believe you" for a while

Is that not what that meant this whole time?

That's exactly what it means, but for some reason people stick in "identifies as" when they wouldn't say "says she is".
