You might, for example, come across a random dog and say "That's not a Rotweiler that's a dog": It might be another named breed, it might be an incomprehensibly mixed-up street pupper, point is it's not a Rotweiler but still a dog.

Ok, but even if we follow your dehumanising analogy, non-binary people are still trans

So claiming "“technically you’re not trans but enby” is never going to be "precisely defined taxonomy", no matter how much you'd love for transphobes to have their "kink" of deliberately mislabelling people to exclude them from a category they factually belong to.

"all enbies are trans" I mean isn't that like their decision

Transgender = a person who identifies as a different gender to what they were assigned at birth. This includes non binary people, as well as agender, gender non conforming, and so on.

You wanting to exclude yourself from the trans community for whatever reasons (almost certainly a combination of internalised and/or regular old transphobia) doesn't change that.

But hey, don't take my word for it, you could have easily found that out for yourself if you weren't so intent on being "not like other trans people":
