Not any more than I have an age identity because someone's subjective age might be younger or older than their objective age, or a species identity because somebody's subjective species might be non-human, or an identity with respect to any other matter on which some people's subjective beliefs or feelings differ. These examples hopefully illustrate that "aligned with your sex" just means being in tune with reality.
I also wanted to mention that if you want to discuss anything that came up in the Gorky Park thread we can probably do that here.

As an aside to the quoted text in my last post, sex is also generally not assigned but observed. It's only assigned where there exists an ambiguity which can happen with sexual development disorders and is extremely rare.
