There can still be another side, like I said, just in another aspect. Their gender identity might have been the same througout but their presentation would've probably changed with time. Thus a transition.
Also in the case you described when she talks to someone who didn't know her pre-transition it would be a forced outing using the old pronouns and deadname.
Did they really? Because if that were the case we wouldn't have different skin tones for emojis with people claiming they feel more represented by them or happy to use them because they have the same skin tone.
I tried Dread Delusion yesterday but I couldn't get into it even though I love Morrowind. The music and sound design almost put me to sleep in the first hour. The soundtrack is way too chill and sleep inducing and doesn't change once in that timeframe.
You need a break from the internet.
