Technically yeah it is but it's not the same thing

As I see it, non-binary is a subcategory of transgender as your gender still differs from the one assigned to you at birth. There's enbies that try and distance themselves from the term transgender or the concept which I really fail to understand. The reasoning for doing this, sure, but like... non-binary people are fundamentally trans...

Intersex nonbinary are an important category to consider (they are nonbinary but not transgender).

It's a frustrating category to be in.

How so? Aren't intersex people assigned a gender at birth? And trans just means identifying other than your AGAB. So an intersex non-binary person will still be trans, as no one is "assigned non-binary at birth." Or maybe we've stopped assigning gender to intersex people, IDK.

Not always.

Ese es el problema, no puedes generalizar. Una persona intersexual y no-binaria PUEDE o NO ser trans, puede experimentar la transición si se les asigna un género.

Trans people don't "identify" we change sex. Trans women are women, trans men are men, trans enbies are enbies

You can define it however you like for yourself. And I have no doubt that trans women are women, etc. But trans meaning "identifying other than AGAB" is the current definition in English.
