Cis-male here, my best friend was a trans woman and when she first started her transition I asked the question that should only come from a close friend: are you going to keep it? She laughed and said "oh yeah, I love having a dick!" and that helped me better understand that her journey was about so much more than genitalia and sex.
So, for me the question wasn't asked because I didn't think she wasn't 'truly' a trans woman if she didn't get it, but it was just out of honest ignorance and misconception. That said, I didn't think it is really anyone's business what's in your underwear - and I would have accepted an answer of "it's none of your business" if she didn't want to share.
