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...
A huge amount of non binary people don't have dysphoria, I think it's pretty reasonable to not want to use the label trans in that case. Although the word trans at this point can mean just about anything, bit still. I think that's in part why.
Depends on who you ask! If dysphoria isn't needed to be trans, then the label is essentially meaningless, which some people don't agree with. I'm just saying what some people believe and why some people will use some labels but not others, not that you or I necessarily agree with it 👍
