it was denying the existence of nonbinary people, which is transphobic.
Eh? Trans is someone who transitions from man to woman or vice versa. A person just saying they’re non-binary is not trans, because they haven’t transitioned. There is no third state to transition to.
Trans people are people who’s gender doesn’t align with their biological sex. Nonbinary people don’t identify as male or female, so unless they’re intersex, their gender doesn’t align with their biological sex. Genderfluid is a subset of nonbinary people who’s gender changes over time, between any of masculine, feminine, or agender (having no strong connection to a gender identity).
Therefore, nonbinary people come under the trans umbrella, although some would choose not to identify as trans for several reasons (for me it’s mainly because trans is still mainly associated with binary trans people, and I don’t want to muddy the waters or confuse anyone).
Someone doesn’t have to have transitioned to be trans, although often they want to transition, they just have to identify with a gender which isn’t the same as their sex.

Don’t be ashamed to be one of today’s lucky 10000!
