The concept of “identities” is grounded no more or less in science than about any else dealt with in psychiatry or psychology, to be honest. It is certainly not exact science, it is certainly not hard science, and one may in fact debate whether it can be called “science” at all, but it's certainly not any different from the standard of rigor generally employed in such fields. It also isn't much different than many of the abstractions used in, say, linguistics, which are very much in want of any actual definition.
