Done.
People as a whole really like to get caught up in labels for things because it helps them categorize. It's hardwired into our pattern seeking behavior to try and fit everything into neat little boxes. However sexuality and gender as a whole are pretty messy in practice and not everything fits neatly into those boxes. When someone refers to themselves or others with a label like "trans" all that means is that they are not cis. The exact specifics are unknown until you talk to them more.
Agreed, that makes sense
