      It was my understanding that non-binary was a separate thing outside of the typical two genders (and therefore not TRANS(itioning to the other)gender. Is going from male to nonbinary also considered being transgender (as you are transitioning to non-binary)? Genuinely curious.

        Some nonbinary people also medically transition, often in ways identical to their binary transgender peers. A nonbinary person who was assigned female at birth may get a mastectomy and take a similar dose of testosterone to trans men, for example. Not all nonbinary people identify as transgender, but in general anyone whose gender does not match their sex assigned at birth can be considered transgender.
