Is cis or trans identity really something that is truth-apt (& therefore in the purview of probability)?

Could you explain what you mean by this via an easier to grasp concept than gender identity, preferably in a way that preserves relevance to identity?

Sure. Does it make sense for an individual to think about the probability that they (themselves) are a Manchester United fan?
