yea my point is that nonbinary is a subcategory of trans. at least in my eyes. im not sure how else someone would categorize it, but if anyone has other ideas id love to hear them.

The prefix trans- means to go to the other side. If you aren’t going to the opposite side, you aren’t trans. There are many other identities that don’t totally move to the opposite side, or even subvert the binary entirely.

that means only 100% MtF or FtM people are trans? interesting take.

Nonbinary is nonbinary. There’s certainly a lot of overlap between nonbinary people and trans people, but they aren’t the same.

I literally said the term. They are gender non-conforming. Don’t impose your beliefs on people that don’t want to be identified the way you think they should.

How does being non-conforming exclude being cis or trans?
