So far, I disagree with everything I've _ever_ heard
or read on this particular riddle.*

I think it depends more on just what you think "it"
implicitly stands in place for/refers to. The answer
is NOT an identity. It could be anything. :)

For me, "it" in the sentence translates to something
like "the causative factor" or "the missing information
regarding the current circumstance". 

Volunteering, then, to equate oneself with that concept --
"it" -- this action must logically be transitive. We don't have
a good way to express that, so we mangle what we've got.

* which means, of course, that I am wrong. By definition.
But hey, I've never let that stop me.
