Being trans is really about changing your actual body. Not all people want to change their body. Nonbinary is just about not putting yourself in either category. I am nonbinary and transfem. I like to look fem but I'm still masc in some ways and also tomboyish.

see i'm with those who believe if you change your physical body you are not only transgender but transsexual, though i know some have a problem with the latter term. as someone who's had surgery i like being able to specify.

the definition of transgender i'm going by is that trans = not your biological sex. so if a nonbinary person does not identify with their biological sex, they are not cisgender. and not cis is... trans. but again, this is just my definition. everyone's gonna have their own way of defining their reality.

Just like gender these words don't really have much concrete meaning. IDC how people identify. I think it's interesting.
