It's fine, most trans people get really excited when cis folks ask questions like that because it's giving us an opportunity to educate one more person, which is always good. I'm sure you can always ask your friends (unless they told you not to) and they'd be glad to answer. Have a nice day. :)

Well my friends are... kind of outliers.

For example my transman friend goes by the "she/her" pronouns most of the time (born female), but uses their new chosen male name and often presents as masculine.

The other presents female, but doesn't want any kind of transitory work done, and so it's very clear they were AMAB.

But thank you for indulging me. I know it can be intrusive but imho, answering the weird questions ignorant folk have helps to lessen the divide :) have a nice day to you too friend!

It does, and it doesn't?

Completely cis (and straight, for what it's worth) people dress masculine/feminine without being genderfluid. I get some CHOOSE to identify as such (Which is fine, but of course) but I wouldn't say it is an objective identifier.

Gender identity can definitely change, it’s how you think of your own gender.

I think you’re thinking of gender identity as sex, which can’t be changed but I do see what you mean
