 '''Binary trans''' individuals are those who identify fully, solely and statically as one of the two western [[binary]] genders ([[men]] and [[women]]). This includes both binary trans women and binary trans men, often referred to simply as trans women and trans men. It is also possible for one to be a [[Non-Binary Woman|non-binary (trans) woman]]/[[Non-Binary Man|man]].
-*'''Trans women''' are women who were not assigned female at birth, most commonly referring to women who were assigned male at birth (AMAB). Trans women may also identify as [[transfeminine]], but not all transfeminine individuals are trans women.

 * [[AFAB Transfem]] and [[AMAB Transmasc]] individuals also exist.

 Any individual whose gender identity is not fully, solely and/or always aligned with their [[AGAB]] may identify as trans. This means that [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender identities are inherently included by the term transgender, and that any non-binary individuals can identify as transgender, if they wish to. Many, but not all non-binary individuals, however, do not identify themselves as trans and do not use the label transgender to describe their experiences/identities.
-Non-binary individuals may also identify as [[transneutral]], transfeminine, transmasculine or a number of other terms depending on an individual's gender identity.
+Non-binary individuals may also identify as [[transneutral]], [[transfeminine]] ([[apollafem]]), [[transmasculine]] ([[athenomasc]]) or a number of other terms depending on an individual's gender identity.

 ===Trans+ and Trans*===
-Sometimes "trans" is written as '''trans+''' or '''[[trans*]]'''. The asterisk or plus sign indicate inclusion of all transgender, non-binary, and associated identities (such as drag queens/kings and crossdressers), without having to write out "transgender, non-binary, and associated identities" in full every time. Many drag queens/kings and crossdressers are trans or non-binary, and use drag as a way to explore their gender identity. However, performing drag does not inherently make one trans or associated with the trans community.

 ===Dysphoria===
-Many (but not all) transgender individuals experience gender [[dysphoria]] - a feeling of discomfort or self hatred stemming from a disconnect between their internal sense of gender and their outward appearance, their bodies, and/or how others perceive them. Gender dysphoria, often called just dysphoria, can range in intensity; it can be severe, moderate, mild, or not there at all. Sources of dysphoria can be and often are different between individuals, and these sources can change over the course of one's life and/or transition.
+All transgender individuals experience some form of gender [[dysphoria]] - a feeling of discomfort (or can even be self hatred) stemming from a disconnect between their internal sense of gender and their outward appearance, their bodies, and/or how others perceive them. Gender dysphoria, often called just dysphoria, can range in intensity; it can be severe, moderate, mild, or not there at all in some areas. Sources of dysphoria can be and often are different between individuals, and these sources can change over the course of one's life and/or transition. All transgender people experience some form of dysphoria, weather it's just dysphoria around their social gender identity, just dysphoria around their chest, they feel fluctuating dysphoria, near none with some aspects of themselves and extreme with others, they only feel dysphoria when it comes to their pronouns, or they feel all forms of dysphoria to the most extreme end. If a transgender person feels no dysphoria connected to their [[Assigned Gender|AGAB]]/body/pronouns/how others perceive them/etc then their transgenderism is a choice, which being transgender isn't a choice.
