    trans/NB people

    nonbinary people do fall under the trans umbrella

    unless they are intersex in a particular way that they regard their nonbinary gender identity as matching what they were assigned

      Philosophical question. In a jurisdiction that allows for full government recognition of someone not being either male or female, and if someone was “assigned NB at birth” then remains NB into adulthood… sounds like they wouldn’t meet the technical definition of trans.

      This comment isn’t about taking anything away from anyone, it’s about a tiny little thought experiment.

          Well, trans is being a gender other than what you were assigned as, or raised as, or whatever.

          If what you were assigned/raised as is, say, agender, and you continue to be agender, does that not make you “yes NB, not technically trans”?
