The essence of personal identity is the mind. Shouldn’t we talk about people’s identity rather than their sex or gender? Not what people “identify as” but what their true identity is. People’s true identity is not their outward appearance but what the mind involuntarily dictates.
Personal identity is what makes someone themselves, not just their personality. It’s complex & debatable.

Body+personality+preferences & aversions+strengths & weaknesses+decisions & reactions is what makes someone themselves. What's this extra entity of a 'personal identity'? If its a necessary part of what makes us us, then why doesn't everyone have one? Is it faith-based? ie-a soul

Yes. But nonetheless the transwoman/girl did not just get an idea into their head out of nowhere "I am a woman". They would have no concept of "woman" unless they had seen actual women, unless "woman" was "a thing". They are "identifying as" something that already exists.
