For many, "transgender" means any form of gender nonfomformity. That being said, protect your trans comrades with that in mind if basic human decency wasn't enough.
There is also what I'd like to call "gender non-acknowledgement"
e.g.: Like, yes, I am a man and it's convenient and keeps me "safe" to act as such, but I don't really give a shit. I just don't identify with any of it
you don't have to use this label, but a commonly understood word for this is "agender". just wanted to let you know about it, in case you didn't know
Can you explain the difference between "agender" and "gender non-binary"? Is the latter just more restrictive in recognition of only two genders while the former is more inclusive?
Some would argue what you suggest, but generally non binary just means not man or woman. Agender is as the previous commenter said, a marked indifference or objection to confirming to or identifying with any gender identity.
i would say they describe two separate axes. "agender" is how much you identify with gender at all, whereas "gender non-binary" describes your experience of gender, when/if you have it (which is quite a broad term, with the only definition being "not the binary experience of being a a man or woman")
to elaborate, there are other terms e.g. "demigender" or "genderflux" that describe different points on the "how much do you identify with having gender at all" axis (these are like, partially identify with having gender, but not totally)
so one could be agender or demigirl/boy depending on how much they relate to gender and what they feel their gender is when they do, for example (usually, in this type of situation, someone can still be classified under the bigger umbrella of "agender", even if they do experience gender sometimes)
(also, the terns might seem like a lot, but a) they're not super important, and b) they're mostly learning root words and modifiers, e.g. "a" is "without", and "gender" is... gender. "demi" is some, "flux" is... flux, etc)
