    “Foreword: This article uses “trans” as an umbrella term, inclusive of all nonbinary and binary trans and nonbinary genders.”

    Yeah that is definitely argument worthy. Trans is short for transitioning/transitioned.

      Trans is short for transgender. Being transgender is not identifying with the gender assigned at birth, so I don’t see the issue with the foreword.

      You’re opening a huuuge can of worms there, lol. I think even transmedicalists would say you can be trans even if you’re not actively transitioning yet.

        Wikipedia isn’t a source, the sources are found at the bottom of the wikipedia page. The “transition” can be more than just the surgery, but not every nonbinary is trans automatically. Some people are just what they are, and have always been, without ever trying to change what they are.
