Wa-alaykum salaam sis,

(Hope you're well!)

As for your question ..alhamdulillaah, you're a muslim.

You don't have a religious identity. You have a complete way of life established for you 1400 years ago, as do I and as do all the people who came after the Prophet 's revelation. Some have accepted and followed this way of life to the best of their abilities, others have tried to change it, others have ignored it, others have ridiculed it, and others have fought it. And this way of life has a name, Allaah choose this name for it and it is Al-Islaam.

The term "religious identity" nowadays refers to what you label yourself to be. Labels are meaningless and don't tell the whole story. So if anyone asks me the question, I would say to them: Allaah will not ask me what my identity is, Allaah will ask me what have I done to deserve eternal happiness or eternal despair.

All respect due to you, but in this life we follow labels all the time. It's how we find people with like-minds and similar lifestyles.

So, I think saying One is Muslim/Muslimah is okay. Just my 2 cents.
