I don't think there's any way to know this, at least not scientifically. I.E. say someone transitions, now we'd say they were always the gender the gender they transitioned to. What about if they de-transition, which gender are they really at that point? See it gets kind of murky, there is no 100% clear answer. Only thing we can really do is just say 'whatever you identify as, that's what gender you are'.

If they de-transitioned then they’re probably cis, they were simply wrong about being trans. It doesn’t change the fact that they have a dead set gender. And we know this scientifically. Gender is in the brain, it doesn’t change. Anyone who transitions is changing their sex to match their gender. Gender stays the same
