Gender is very complex. Some parts can be fluid, some are more fixed, some are innate, others are borrowed, contextual, learned, performative, some are intermingled with and informed by other social aspects like class, race, culture, sexuality

There isnt a simple answer because gender is a social construct and human beings have incredibly complex social behaviors.

The best answer I can give is another example: a black non-binary person I know has talked about how they feel pretty strongly about being referred to as they/them, except by black women, because they grew up being seen as, socialized as, and treated as a black woman, and so feel a continued sense of femininity and sisterhood with other black women. They are non-binary, but when engaging with other black women they are still, in some sense of their identity, a black woman.
