    Real question, can someone be both transgender and non-binary?

    I thought transgender was M or F instead of F or M and non-binary is neither or all of the above.

      Transgender means that the gender you are assigned at birth does not align with the gender you identify as. Generally speaking, non-binary people are considered part of the trans community, but some non-binary choose to not identify as trans.

      Source: am non-binary and consider myself trans.

        Non-binary, male presenting, male by birth. So I don’t identify as trans generally.

        I am multiple though. So some of me is more female, some more male, and you know, frogs will switch it up when they need to adapt to the environment.

      Enby here, I wrestled with that question myself.

      In the end I ended up embracing the “trans” label when I started living openly as non-binary because it suddenly felt like it fit. I’m not “cis”, because I’m not the gender I was assigned at birth. I’ve transitioned, which is a trans thing.

      From that perspective, I think any enby who was raised with binary gender expectations and subsequently come out of that closet can claim the label, and cis enbies would never have needed to because they’d always have been known as such.

      Yes.

      Here is a link to an interview with a non binary transgender person. (Timestamp around 32:00).

      By the way, I recommend the whole video, I leaned a lot from it. Turn on captions tough if you’d like to watch it, it’s partualy in Dutch, tough the linked section is English.

      Edit: The Person interviewed starting at 11:00 Minutes also identifies as non binary trans.

      Many come out as nonbinary before they come out as trans.

      Nonbinary seems to have less a social stigma that I am sure many fins a safe avenue to exolore.

        I’m non-binary. There is still a TON of social stigma around being non-binary. In fact, you’ve stated one of the things here: “non-binary people are just unwilling to fully transition”. I heard the same thing said about bisexual men back in the early 00s, that they were just gay men that refused to accept that fact.

        I would say, very seriously, that a lot of especially AMAB non-binary folks face a ton of discrimination both from the cis community and parts of the trans community.

        As for me, I’m agender. I’m very comfortable with my identity and have been for years. But I still get people asking “so when are you going to transition or just give it up” as if where I’m at now isn’t where I want to be.
