Going by what I see, identities are constructed from sexuality, hobbies, interests, skills , peer groups, income, etc. It's hard to believe that one can come to identify as a gender without some form of influence from outisiders. I see threads all of the time on message boards where a poor, confused kid is told that he's really a girl, he then responds to rhe thread a week later, feeling severe bodily dysphoria because of her new found identity and how much one needs to change to match their body with that identity. These are just my observations on the matter of course, but other people's input would be nice. Also, I can't space my words out right now because phone.

it's a little of both, anon
we're born and raised in some environment and have a predisposition to matching what we were raised in
but we're conscious, living things and have some amount of control over what we pay attention to, and can create ourselves anew in a million different ways
have fun being human!

Well how do you feel about your own identity?
