A gentle way of letting someone know that their expressed gender identity does not match their birth sex would be to ask them about the journey that led them to feeling this identified. For example, "You mentioned having a gender Identity which is different than what you were born with. Can you tell me a bit more about your journey with regards to understanding yourself and how you arrived at this identity?".

You can let them know by saying something like: 'Hey, I don't mean to disrespect you, but are you sure you identify with the gender that you said before? I'm just checking so that we can be totally on the same page'.
