    Line 16:
    '''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 - though it's 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]], though not all transfeminine individuals are trans women.
    *'''Trans men''' are men who were not assigned male at birth, most commonly referring to men who were assigned female at birth (AFAB). Trans men may also identify as [[transmasculine]], though not all transmasculine individuals are trans men.
    * Binary trans women and men may also have been [[AXAB|assigned X at birth]]/[[UAB|unassigned at birth]] (though not all AXAB or UAB individuals are/identify as trans, or as men/women).
     
    Line 23:
    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 may identify as trans if they wish to. Some 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.
     
    ===Are GNC Individuals Inherently Trans? ===
    [[Gender Non-Conforming|Gender non-conforming]] individuals, crossdressers and [[Drag Performers|drag performers]] are not inherently transgender and/or non-binary or associated with the trans community, though many are. This is because presentation does not always indicate one's internal sense of gender identity, and one may dress in a way that is seen as atypical for someone of one's gender without necessarily having a gender identity that is different to their AGAB.
     
    ===Common Trans- Subsets===
     
    *'''[[Transfeminine]]''' or '''trans fem'''/'''transfem''' is an umbrella term for individuals who were not assigned female at birth whose gender identity always, fully, partially and/or sometimes feminine. This includes trans women, and non-AFAB trans individuals whose gender is feminine in some way.
    *'''[[Transmasculine]]''', or '''trans masc'''/'''transmasc''' is an umbrella term for individuals who were not assigned male at birth whose gender identity is always, fully, partially and/or sometimes masculine. This includes trans men, and non-AMAB trans individuals whose gender is masculine in some way.
    *'''[[Transneutral]]''' is a term to describe [[neutral]]-aligned [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals. They may have been assigned female, male or X/unassigned at birth (though not all AXAB or UAB individuals will identify with the term trans or transneutral). Transneutral is not synonymous with being non-binary, as not all non-binary genders are neutral-aligned or neutral in nature.
    *Many other gender modality terms have been coined to reflect a range of different experiences, including: [[ultergender]], [[transaporine]], [[transoutherine]], [[transnull]] and [[transxenine]].
