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.
What does 100% mean? You identify as male, female, or other. If it’s other then it’s not trans, it’s whatever you identify as. If it’s opposite of what you’re assigned at birth it is.

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.
