Do you use the word “trans” when talking about nonbinary people?

    Not necessarily. If someone’s intersex, for example, that could be a cis nonbinary person (if they identify as such).

    Likewise you’ve got people who all their life haven’t really felt particularly to the gender binary. Legal stuff might’ve still forced them into a box, though. A common definition is that of people whose gender identity doesn’t overlap with the one assigned at birth.

    I personally mostly use trans for people who identify as such; people who desire to change how they express their gender identity, for example. Others might have different ideas about when to use that term or not, but that’s how I view it myself.
