The article seems to mainly be talking about dysphoria, which I don't take issue with. If by "gender identity" they just mean "people with dysphoria" then sure I can work with that.

My issue with gender identity is when people assert the existence of a man/woman "soul" that makes you a man/woman. Or that "cis" people can "feel" their man-ness/woman-ness. That to me is really weird and presumptive.

Yes. Same here.
