This magical ability to “maintain an identity” you speak of, is not a real thing that exist. Learning that you don’t have to define yourself by circumstantial irrelevant bullshit you’ve got no control over like age, sex, family or skin colour will only lead to you being yourself.
Actually doctor, identity is a real thing that people depend on to exist as social creatures in a social universe. It can be disrupted by personality disorders, brain injuries, etc. It’s like you are saying, “Proprioception isn’t a real thing, people just know where their limbs are!” Be grateful you don’t even know what the fuck I am talking about, and learn some humility.
