Source? Article does not mention gender, only name and pronouns. Many transgender folks keep their original name and pronouns!

I do not blame you for this mistake, it is very easy to make. But it proves my point!

I am yet to meet a trans person who didn't change name and or pronouns but I admit there is sampling bias towards my age bucket

It's definitely not uncommon. Many trans people can't change their name or pronoun, or simply don't want to.

Conjoined twins are always genetically identical, so if his twin was a cis woman, I think it's safe to assume he was not assigned male at birth :)

The article also mentions that George was his chosen name, not his given name. Although FWIW I am one of those nonbinary people who goes by the name my parents gave me, so fair enough :P

I have not heard of that before either. What difference does their being trans make then (unless they have had surgery)?

[Tran84jfj]

It makes all the difference, they become women/men. Some people have self referenced identity, and are not defined by how their environment sees them.

I will not comment about surgery.

It is correct though, and the mention of deadname in the obituary makes it clear there was also a name change.
