Any other identity is of our own making and is an illusion.
That’s not completely true. On the one hand, we see that God created the world and said what he had done is good. He created human beings in his image with the ability to create. There is nothing wrong with a human being creating some and then saying “this is good.”
What we make of ourselves is more complex than simply “this is the way God made us.” Certainly, how God uniquely gifts us in once factor. However, the influence of our families and culture also play a part, and most importantly we all have a God-given responsibility to make of ourselves what WE want to pursue. God uses and redeems that, even if it is less than perfect. This is important and seemingly missing here.
