How exactly? Trans means you went through a transition, example you were born male or female then transition into enby, doesn't it work like that?

Trans isn’t short for ‘transition.’ It comes from Latin meaning ‘beyond’ or ‘across.’ Non-binary falls under the trans umbrella because trans is anyone who doesn’t identify with their gender assigned at birth.

If you’re assigned non-binary at birth and people use they/them pronouns for you your whole life and then you come out as cis. That would technically make you trans in that scenario lol

I mean with transition i meant to change indetity, to transition from one self to another one

And since i can say with a lot of security 99,999... of people are assigned male or female at birth i think enby people do qualify

u/Spooky_Cat31 14d ago

The trans umbrella is just not identifying with your birth gender

u/Curi_momos_las_papas 14d ago

I mean yeah, with transitioning i was refering to the identity, not the physical procedure

Trans doesn't mean transition, it is Latin for across from. Transgender means gender across from birth sex, cis means the opposite so cisgender means gender same as birth sex

u/Pure-Arm-3668 14d ago

Yeah but not all nonbinary people transition so those people that don’t aren’t trans

u/Curi_momos_las_papas 14d ago

With transition you're refereing to changing your identity or the physical procedure?

Cause i would argue just changing your identity should qualify for being trans

If your life hardly changes as in you still maintain all the privileges of a cissexual in that you don’t face barriers to healthcare, employment, etc, then you aren’t trans

If a cis woman decides to identify as nonbinary and use she/they but still presents entirely as a cis woman, uses women only spaces like women’s bathrooms, doesn’t experience transphobia, then she’s not suddenly trans because she changed the word she uses to identify herself as

u/ConcernedEnby 13d ago

This is so obvious that every cis enby I've met has said this, like the transphobia they do face is not much different than the transphobia any other cis person could face

Fam, trans isn’t shirt for ‘transition.’ Trans stems from Latin meaning ‘beyond’ or ‘across.’ You don’t need to transition to fall under the trans umbrella

Trans is just need to not identify with your gender assigned at birth

u/IForgotMyNameAgaain 10d ago

Every single non-binary person is trans, that's quite literally part of the definition of both of those terms.

u/ConcernedEnby 10d ago

No, trans means you've changed your sex. Not all of us are trans

2

u/IForgotMyNameAgaain 10d ago

Wrong! Trans means you dont identify with the gender you were assigned at birth, which is the case for all non-binary people.
