I think asking for trans people is wrong because they genuinely are (in a sense of their core identity and perception of themselves) the gender they transitioned too.
But a different question would be for example, for someone who got disbled later in life, are you disabled in your dreams?
Thank you for sharing your perspective on this.
I often am even more disabled in my dreams than I am in real life, as my dreams play to my fears of being entirely unable to walk (I have muscle weakness and fatigue, but I can still walk almost all of the time) or to wake up (also have narcolepsy and sometimes can't wake up).
I can only give an answer from someone who was always disabled "I am disabled in my dreams, but at the level I was in my 20s (so capable of walking unaided and stuff) despite steadily becoming worse"
