Labeling one self as anything but male or female (unless you have a birth defect), simply means you think you're a special snowflake and that you deserve a lot of attention. You're still either male or female, nobody gives a rats ass about what you "identify" as, you're not special, you're not interesting. And that goes for morons who claim to be part whatever animal, mythological creature, or robot as well! You are not! Well, maybe part human part idiot, but that's it! Kids these days...

I think that might be a bit short sighted.
When people introduce themselves they often say something like "i'm a scientist/teacher/gamer/reader/addict". That doesn't mean they are looking for attention, it's about sharing something with yourself that you can talk about or to look for others that you have that in common with. It can also mean you feel the need to share some quirk about you that is out of the norm, something that people have to take into account when interacting with you (IE i sometimes introduce myself as having aspergers, because people expecting weird interactions will be better at handling them.)
Introducing yourself as male even though you have boobs can be explained as trying to share that you act in a manner that is seen traditionally as female. IE less agressive/competive and more caring.
There is a lot of recorded examples that are exactly this. I've forgotten the exact name, but indians (native americans) had a name for men who weren't just gay in the sense that they liked men, but also had feminine traits and were not as much into hunting/war/whatever.
Now, i do think 99 of the 100 people you see saying this stuff is in it for the attention or because of rebellion or whatever ******** reason, but i also firmly believe that that 1 in a 100 or 1 in a 1000, whatever the numbers is in fact "legit" the other gender.
