So trans either means specifically man-woman dysphoria or it means "not feeling like a gender I'm supposed to be", then all non-binaries are also called trans. But not "whoever wants to call themselves whatever". Because then I just gotta ask follow up questions if I actually wanna know. E.g. you'd say something like "I'm queer". Yeah, great, so, where do we start?

Plot twist, I'm telling people I'm queer even though I'm a straight dude because I believe in gender equality, which defies gender identity as a concept, so essentially I'm non-binary, so I'm trans, so I'm oh boy so queer. True story.

Definitions change based on who they are useful for. The medical definition used to say dysphoria only, and now its starting to say euphoria too. Because thats valid.

And saying you're queer while claiming to be a straight male to prove a point might be... Rebellious, but Im glad youre trying the labels on for size. Youre valid.
