Thanks so much for that.

Exactly my understanding of it. We were talking about it today. Non binary people are not always in some kind of transition. I know some who are but still identify as non binary. I can't understand what it would feel like to be non binary, as I am binary. I am defined as transgender, but i'm taking oestrogen and blocking testosterone to transition to my correct biological gender, grow and shrink, have accurate female emotions be more in touch with my intuition among the myriad effects I am feeling. It takes time so it is a transition. I now present as female feeling more comfortable in myself than I ever did trying to be a man, which i am not. I am a woman. That's what I am. That people name it transgender is really a misnomer, my motivations and desires have always been far more aligned with being female and its been that way since I can remember. I'm correcting my gender more accurately. We all face some the same discriminations though however today its become apparent how much more difficult is it to be non binary. People can simplify things with words like sex change but they don't want to understand that some people cannot be male or female or name their gender anything. Its simple for a bank to change my name, gender and title.

I think gender diverse would be a better catch all for people who aren't the gender they were assigned at birth or for those who have no gender at all.
