  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.

    so someone identifying as a demiboy who was afab isn’t trans?

      My understanding is that is identifying as male, right? No one identifies with all of the characteristics of whatever gender they are part of. If you identify yourself as a man and are afab then that’d be trans. It doesn’t matter how strongly you identify as a man.

      I’m not sure why your 100% thing is there except to try to wiggle out of being wrong. No one is 100% of a gender, because you literally can’t be a perfect archetype of a gender.

    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.
