There's probably a lot I could be saying here, but I'm gonna go ahead and leave the interpretations to you.

On a slightly different note here, estrogen was explicitly mentioned, so if Ana was confused about hormones Rain was referring to, this would've cleared it up quite quickly.
Perhaps Ana doesn't want to be reminded of her own transness and someone going through it throws a phase of her life she'd rather move on from back in her face.
Or she might worry that Rain could get her caught out if people find out about her and thus start looking for it in her. Or even Rain's friends might clock her.
"On a TOTALLY unrelated note..."
Smooth.
I think Rain's going to follow her into the restroom to talk to her... alone... hopefully alone... if somebody else overhears them it would be disastrous. And the timing with what's happening politically today in the USA is especially disturbing.
Don't mind me, just hanging here till Monday admiring my updated Social Security and State ID!
-figure out what's happening here
-take my second dose of testosterone and hopefully do it right this time
On a totally unrelated note(wink,wink ) I'm going to cosplay as black wings Kaminari for an anime convention I'm going to, because why the heck not? The only thing is my Mom's probably jealous that a fictional character could get me in a dress faster than she ever could.
OR, she might be one of those people who see intersex people who were assigned incorrectly as the only "valid" trans people, but I think I'll take Gavin's stance on Ana being too open-minded for that.
OR, she might be angry/disbelieving at Rain because she thinks that any trans person who isn't trying their best to be totally stealth is a faker doing it for attention. She might need to have a chat with Vincent, if this is the case.
There are possibilities all across the gradient to justify Ana's response there.
ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE: Just started spiro and estrogen today myself! I'm like Rain, but time isn't flowing in narrative speed!
Ana basically sees her transition as something she HAD to do (and given what assigned at birth means, she may have had not one but TWO surgeries), so looking at Rain's smiling face concerning this may make her feel that much worse.
if this is true rain telling her about being trans might actually make her mad. since she might view it as Rain giving up the male body she so desperately wants.
I don't know. her expression in the first frame makes me thing she's angry or jealous at rain. so I'm just speculating.
So, Ana is female.
@ugly tuesday all I can tell from that first frame is that something isn't right. this isn't the kind of face you make when you are debating being open about being trans yourself. she's seriously shocked and not happy with what she just heard for whatever reason

BlackSocks, come in, have you met Cliffhanger?
[BLACKSOCKS]
Yes, sir
[BLACKSOCKS, CLIFFHANGER]
We keep meeting
C'est vrai.
...I assumed he had just gone pale or something.
*jumps on the speculation train* I think Ana is having a hard time seeing Rain's friends so accepting or things going so well for her because things didn't go so well for Ana. Maybe Ana's lost friends (or family) over her situation and seeing this is... she's happy for Rain but it's a painful gut-punch reminder of all she lost.
