When transgender identity changes long-term friend group dynamics

My college friend group has been close for fifteen years but since I transitioned, some of them have been awkward and distant while others are overly performative about being allies. Our group dynamic has completely changed and I don't know if we can get back to feeling natural with each other or if this is just how it is now.
