Do you use the word “trans” when talking about nonbinary people?

      Trans as an affix doesn’t just mean across though, it also means beyond. So outside genders you can also be transgender.

      Moot point as self identity is the real authority here, but wordplay is fun

          literal definition of the affix. Look it up.

          Also the trans community does include intersex and enbys. Also tends to be very accepting of GNCs, genderqueers, and genderfucks.

          And if you got off your outrage high, you’d read the rest of that last sentence. You know, the bit where I literally said **“Self identity is the real authority” **

          I get it. You love your purity politics. I don’t. And on a personal note: Don’t try and tell me what the Community wants. Because I’ve been a member of it a lot longer than you have. And that policing purity politicking bullshit is literally a psyop to try and fracture us.

      Transgender is you still identifying by a gender and changing over to that other gender.

      I’m not sure I agree… many of my trans friends have said they didn’t “change over” to the other gender, they were always that gender.

      Non-Binary identifies OUTSIDE of genders, all and any.

      Again, I think you missed the mark here… nonbinary folks often do identify as a gender which is not part of the typical binary. I think you confused this for agender.
