You want "people identifying as this" where "identify" is a loaded word? As distinct from "examples of this in fiction/etc"?
Have you sorted out how to tell if someone has such an identity before people understood identities the way we do now? (ie: people have been having gay sex forever, but "gay" is a new concept) I bet there's something like it in the late 19th century; there certainly was enough angst about mechanisms and so on.
