    I’m not sure how many more examples you need to understand this, it’s not exactly a difficult concept.

    Two is not one, “not one” does not mean two.

    Blue is not red, “not blue” does not mean red.

    Cat is not dog, “not dog” does not mean cat.

    USA is not Canada, “not Canada” does not mean USA.

    Water is not air, “not air” does not mean water.

    I am not you, “not you” does not mean me.

    Brunette is not redhead, “not redhead” does not mean brunette.

    Straight is not gay, “not gay” does not mean straight.

    None of these are binary options, just as you yourself have acknowledged the existence of non-binary gender identification. Boolean logic only makes sense for binary options.

    Trying to enforce “trans and non-trans” as the only two terms is trying enforcing a binary that you have admitted does not exist.
