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

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.

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.

I don’t know if it’s your intent or you don’t know, but this is transmedicalism and it’s gatekeeping that is used as intercommunity bigotry. Trans is an umbrella term that holds transsexuals, transgender, non-binary, Demi, fluid and intersex people under. We can celebrate and acknowledge the distinctions, but anyone who doesnt feel cis is absolutely welcome to the trans label. When some non binary people understand themselves, many see this as a transition from how they identified before and that is absolutely 100% valid.
Please do not tell anyone they are or are not trans. That is not your choice to make and it belongs to every single individual person to say for themselves.
