Willow and Buffy struggle a lot with identity issues, but it doesn't seem tied into their sexual identities in the same way.
Really? I would say quite the opposite. Could you clarify what you mean in more detail? I don't want to make assumptions.
I realize now that "gender identities" might have been closer to what I meant. Xander observes people's behavior, including his own, in terms of gender norms and identification much more than any of the other characters. Just as an example, his dialog in Bargaining Part 1:
"House o' chicks, relax. I'm a man and I have a tool! Tools. Lots of plural tools. In my toolbox. Many sandwiches! Excellent. Men like sandwiches."

That's the sort of thing I'm talking about.
