Does this have any impact on the self-identity row?

No. Age dictates things we are allowed to do, when we need to be in school, when we can sign contracts, when we get pensions. Applicable to this case alone, it's also a good indicator of when we might die..... someone who is in their 40s still has about 40 years left. Someone in their 70s doesn't. So someone who is 45 needs to know the actual age of the person they are choosing ad their partner.

Obviously gender has it's own reasons for not slowing self ID, but the age thing is completely different given that age is used for making many many decisions.
