  Wouldn’t they be genderfluid, not trans?

      No it’s not. Transgender and genderfluid identities are different.

        So a tricky thing with LGBT words is they seem to around specificity.

        Like people can say gay to mean gay men, gay people, or any kind of queer.

        Similarly transgender can mean a gender identity not matching your biological sex, which includes genderfluid; or it can mean specifically a binary trans man/woman.

        These aren’t different valid opinions about the label. They are literally just different definitions for the words that depend on context. The words mean all of those things but usually only one in a context.

        i mean, i doubt many genderfluid people were assigned genderfluid at birth, so they aren’t really cis. whether or not individual genderfluid people choose to identify as transgender is their thing, but i think genderfluid broadly fits under the transgender umbrella. or are you saying genderfluid people are cis?

        Hold up. No, that’s not correct. I am trans myself, and while I’m assuming it’s not your intent to do so but this is walking in to some toxic gatekeeping that is common in some communities. Not tying to call you out, but respectfully and politely, it’s a pretty big party foul to say a group is or isn’t trans

        “Trans” is an umbrella term in which transgender, transexual, non-binary, generfluid, demi boy/girl and Intersex people can all fit under. None of these things are mutually exclusive. And conversely, it’s not a requirement either. Many intersex people do not consider themselves trans, and that is 100% their right, but many do as well. It’s an individuals choice to hold that label and not something that can or should be restricted by another party.
