[Cowboy Bebop] Is Ed transgender? If so what gender does/will he/she identify with?

Ed is female, has a male name, always refers to her/himself in third person, and Ed is not particularly feminine or masculine. Does he/she refer to his/herself in third person intentionality or does he/she just talk funny?

Ed is just an eccentric, genius, prepubescent girl, with very little concept of, or exposure to "social norms".  

She chose her name because she liked it(also remember that her "peers" are largely other net hackers who go by their own strange "handles", so picking random "cool" sounding names would seem normal to her), not because it carries any "gender identity" in her mind.  

As to her behavior, personality, third person speech, etc, Ed just behaves like *Ed*.  
Look at who her father is (another eccentric genius), look at the world she lives in, a nearly post apocalyptic and very chaotic landscape of an earth bombarded with constant meteor strikes. Look at the cyber-punk-hacker scene she's a part of. Remember that she has spent a LOT of time on her own/by herself. So yeah, how "normal" could you expect her to be?
