The term identity politics may have been used in political discourse since at least the 1970s.[19] The first known written appearance of the term is found in the April 1977 statement of the Black feminist socialist group, Combahee River Collective, which was originally printed in 1979’s Capitalist Patriarchy and the Case for Socialist Feminism,[22] later in Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology, edited by Barbara Smith, a founding member of the Collective,[23] who have been credited with coining the term.[24][25]

Do you mean gender identity? That’s not the same thing as identity politics.

Nope, I mean identity politics. IE concern for the details and ramifications of identity, so great that it rises into the political realm.

There’s been like 9 variations of gender in the Hebrew biblical books for thousands of years…
This isn’t new, but the bigotry towards it is. Kinda like how being Homo was fine in Roman times but not in Confederate times. Hate is a social construct.
